This is a repost of a question I asked last week. NOBODY replied - even just to say "can't be done".
Speaking only for myself, if I am silent on an advanced technical issue, that usually means that I have no clue how the problem might be solved.
I am considering using a real MLM to manage the mailling lists we use within our department. However, one of the requirement for this is that the product must be able to get is subscriber list from our LDAP (OpenLDAP 3) information store.
For example, in LDAP there is an attribute for each user that tells us whether they are "faculty", "staff", "grad", or "undergrad" (there are others, but this works for the example).
I need a MLM that can make an LDAP query and get all of the "faculty", then send the message out. It needs to do this for EVERY message for that list.
I'm quite certain that the current version of Mailman does not support alternative back-end databases, whether SQL or LDAP or whatever. I do not know of any mailing list package that can use LDAP as a back-end, although there are some that can use SQL (e.g., Lyris, which is an expensive commercial package).
