There was some experimental work that was done in this area for Mailman 2.1.x, but I don't think it ever got formally included in the code base.  This sort of thing should be relatively easy to do with Mailman 3.x, once that ships and is stable.

Google's having a bit of a problem trying to find LDAPMemberAdaptor. What is the link/page to this? The link http://webserver.offal.homelinux.org/LDAPMemberAdaptor/ seems to be broken now.

I just did a few google searches and I do see it now, but I don't suppose there is a list of things that are required for this to be configured?

Thanks
