I think that's a reference to the ability to use the extend.py mechanism to specify a custom member adaptor for a list. go to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=300103 and search for Summary keyword: adaptor. This feature definitely requires the assistance of "the folks who have access to the server Mailman's running on", but it can be implemented for a single list or group of lists. The LDAP adaptor that you'll find with the above search does/describes this better than the MySql adaptor. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
