The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

>> Can Sympa do hierarchical lists? I make an example:

Using include-list, combined with heirachial categories, seems to provide 
this.

We make use of include-list to achieve this in similar situations -- such as 
individual class contact lists and then a summary list over the top.  Under 
the old mailman system we had to have the lists chained, which resulted in 
multiple subject tags and posting permission problems, but Sympa does it much 
better.

We also tie it in with our identity management system via LDAP, so that new 
employees, being joined to one LDAP group, automatically get a number of list 
memberships set up.  This again lets us have lists configured with one or 
more LDAP groups, so essentially having people in group A implicitly in 
groups B and C, and so on.
