A couple things to try:
(1) I suspect both top and mjDistributionList are structural
objectClasses, so you can only specify one or the other. top is
implicitly inherited by all other objectClasses, so it may be as
simple as removing top from the objectClass value list.
(2) Failing that, the error suggests that you are not setting an
attribute that the mjDistributionList objectClass requires. Check
your schema to see if you're missing anything. I note that the mj_*
attributes do not follow the usual LDAP/X.500 conventions for
attribute naming, so that seems a bit odd, but not necessarily
broken.
