Hi,

running Sympa 6.0. When using an LDAP source for a mailing list (i.e. the members of the mailing list are dynamically assembled during mail processing), this means the sub scribe action has to result in an LDAP modify action, adding, changing or deleting an attribute within the LDAP entry of that user. E.g. someone sub scribes to mailing list xyz, then the LDAP entry of the user gets an extra attribute, something like:

dn: uid=user, dc=organization, dc=com
...
objectClass: <objectClass>
objectClass: <objectClass>
objectClass: <objectClass>
objectClass: <objectClass>
...
memberOfList: xyz
...

Likewise, an un sub scribe has to result in changing or deleting an attribute in LDAP. Has anybody developed scripts/programs to perform this, or is it part of the standard Sympa distribution? Are there any pointers to scripts or documentation where this is described?
