Hi 
I am aware of those two documents and do plan to proceed with my 
installation based on them.

I do use a full featured mailing list presently but its a 
qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap/ezmlm on Solaris setup which i would like to 
migrate to a postfix/cyrus/mailman on RHEL4 setup.

I am the maintainer for the mailman package here at Red Hat and I'm just

using its own list while the users are stored in the directory server, but 
the only issue is when the mail server receives a mail, an ldap lookup by 
the Spam Firewall (We use Barracuda here) shouldn't result in it rejecting 
it as an invalid user since the lists are maintained seperately.
Can this situation be overcome anyhow?

And as for the LDAP module you will be releasing , Will it be for storing 
the lists completely in the ldap server?Can the list entries map to the 
existing user account in the LDAP server?
