I can understand wanting to define a list as the result of an LDAP query (rather than having to enumerate all the members) but you can do that via your MTA. For example we have public IMAP lists defined for "all students", "all faculty" and so on, by tweaking our Postfix config. I don't know much about Dovecot but I imagine it can also do this. Involving a mail client just seems to be the wrong way to go about it. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
