+
+So after checking sympa doc ( and code source ), we face a problem
+here .
+
+Here
+( http://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios#named_filters ),
+this is explained that we can do a query to ldap to find if a email can
+post to a list. So far so good. 
+
+But just one query.
+
+And so, I am unable to find a query who can give me the list of email of
+people of a ldap group in our ldap ( as we do not use memberOf )
+
+We have 3 solutions :
+- someone add the support for ldap queries with 2 level in sympa ( as
+this is done for others ldap usage )
+
+- we use slapo-memberof
+( http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html )
+
+- we use slapo-dynlist ( same page )
+
+slapo-memberof seems to be what we want, but this doesn't seems dynamic
+( ie, we will have to update the 10 existing entries in ldap to make
+them compliant ).
+
+slapo-dynlist seems overkill.
+
+Any LDAP guru to give insight ?
