Clearly makes sense to me. It was just for the other "list of email addresses" options I was curious about. If they are defined by a backend database, am I restricted to the same backend database as I am using for members list? Or, can I use a different backend for each of the "list of email addresses" options whether it be LDAP, MySQL, Postgresql, etc. or any combination of the mix? Now, about an LDAP interface to MM3 (or possibly making the MM2 more complete), is anyone interested in what ideas I have thought about? If so, a new thread should probably be started.
