Hiya

I am missing a very basic functionality: Distribution lists. Am I
missing something very basic as in being blind or are they really not there?

thanks

Bernhard

I missed the 3. possibility, you are using LDAP. We currently have
distribution lists only with SQL (as I’m not aware there’s any schema /
standard about how to store distribution lists in LDAP).

Ah and of course I am using LDAP

having had a quick browse through the OpenLDAP ML it seems that the way
to go for a DL is GroupOfNames …

You can use a groupOfNames for that purpose, but which LDAP client would
understand that.

If you say eGroupware, I would ask, why use LDAP anyway, if you only
eGroupware …

Hi Ralf

I am not a coder, but i could do the drudgework on how to implement
distribution lists in LDAP? first thought: I have seen i done via
aliases that the MTA resolves, but I don’t assume that is how you do it
for the database based solution?
