RE: mailing lists via groupOfNames

[Gary Richardson]

Title: Message

Hey,   I wrote a perl script last night to do qmail ldap based mailing.   Basically, you create your group object and make it a groupOfNames, qmailUser and a new object that I call qmailGroup. In the object, you set the ldapwithprog to the perl script.   When the script is ran, it parses the email, grabs the object and does some other things. Right now, it will pull a banner out of LDAP and add it to the subject (if supplied). It will also determine if the sender is a part of the list, and, if you define so, will reject the message if outside posts are not allowed.   What I need is some OID’s to stick my new attribs and qmailGroup at. Could I possibly borrow a branch from the qmail stuff?   As soon as I test it, I’ll send it to the list.   -----Original Message----- From: Gary Richardson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 2:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mailing lists via groupOfNames   Hey,   I suppose this is an informal feature request. I want to be able to take the groupOfNames objects I have defined in my database and use them as mailing lists.   Basically, I'd like to see an objectClass called qmailGroup or something similar that extends the groupOfNames class. It would add in a few things, like mail/mailAlternateAddress, banner (for the mailing list banner) and allowOutsidePosts (for determining if non-members could mail to the list).   When qmail-ldap notices that an email address is a part of group object, it would do a look up for each member and reinject a message for them.   I think this would be a very valuable feature. Unfortunately, I can't code C worth a turd.   What do you guys think?
