Patrick is correct. There is also a "read only" LDAP MemberAdaptor. You can find both of these in the Mailman patch tracker on sf.net. There is active work on the MySQL MemberAdaptor. See <http://trac.rezo.net/trac/rezo/browser/Mailman/>. Also see the Mailman 2.2 wiki at <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+2.2> for info on plans to use some kind of SQL database for all list data, not just membership. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
