I find sendmail ldapx useless. Does not meet any of my needs.
Latest versions can be used for alias expansion, but that's as
far as it gets.

Well, it sort of breaks the concept of using LDAP URLs. I'll see
if I can overload the filter field in them to specify that the
ldapfilter.conf file has to be used and a tag to use. This way
different tags can be used on different search bases.

I think the current functionality when complemented with the
semantics needed to support Netscape's mailGroup can get close to
the functionality needed by a general purpose MLM. Unless I am
overlooking something...

The hard part is keeping compatibility with the current stuff, first
versions will probably break some of the more exotic parts. Should
I upload to incoming when I have something (full source? patch?)
or should I create a branch on CVS?
