Python script for updating list of approved posters in mailman list from ldap (ldap_addposters.py v0.1 by Ben Chapman)

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 11:42:53 -0600

Imagine that you run a mailman (http://www.list.org) mailing list called "2006-announce". Everyone on your faculty and staff should be able to post to this list; however, not everyone wants to subscribe to the list. All members of your faculty and staff are members of an LDAP group called "contactlist". Because your faculty and staff come and go, you want an automated method for making sure that current members of contactlist have permissions to send mails out to the announcement lists. You'd like to have something that you could run from cron that would make sure that people can post to the appropriate lists.
