While it would have been possible to automatically generate identity

Personally i don't have problem wit the requirement, i just wanted to know why
the change in policy. And it apears sound.
Because it would be a mess to allow sympa to manage both ldap and
non-ldap accounts.
But I have problems with the apparent abillity to no longer use any other
address than the official one listed on my identity page.
Is threre a way to do that?
Would my suggestion below work for you ?
The only way currently is to create an identity account for each address
you want to use. We can look if it would possible to support an other
way to do it, but I don't know if that's possible. And of course any
suggestion about how sympa could be configured to manage multiple email
addresses with only one ldap account is welcome.
I don't know if this is easily configurable, but the online
documentation for sympa 6.1 has an example that seems to permit
filtering by multiple addresses with ldap.
see http://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios#search_condition
Their example shows both
sal...@cru.fr
and
o.sal...@cru.fr
being accepted with the same filter, whereas only the first is coded as
such.
This seems to offer interesting possibilities, allowing users to have
alternate email adresses with different prefixes of their ldap adresse.
(by automatically adding * to the beginning of user ldap adresses.)
The code could require a minimum length to minimise false positives,
and/or add the * just before @.
Would this work, and without too much effort ?
