Dear developers,

I tested the latest Roundcube 1.0.1 and testing LDAP address book. Looks like Roundcube doesn't support more flexible way to query group members. I'm wondering whether Roundcube supports to query LDAP (OpenLDAP) group members this way:

1: My mailing list (group) accounts are stored under a separate ou:

*) container: ou=Groups,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx *) sample mailing list account:

dn: mail=list@example.com,ou=Groups,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx mail: list@example.com objectClass: mailList ...

2: My mail user accounts are stored under another ou:

*) container: ou=Users,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx *) sample mail user account:

dn: mail=user@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx mail: user@example.com objectClass: mailUser memberOfGroup: list@example.com memberOfGroup: list_2@example.com ...

As you can see, we define membership in mail user object, not stored in mailing list account. So, the way Roundcube works doesn't work for me.

To get members of mailing list 'list@example.com', Roundcube should perform below operations:

1: Get all mailing list accounts with pre-defined dn and filter: dn: ou=Groups,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx filter: (objectClass=mailList)

2: User click mailing list 'list@example.com' in address book groups, Roundcube should construct a new LDAP filter to query its members based on some info stored in mailing list object (value of 'mail' attribute in my case):

base dn: ou=Users,domainName=example.com,dc=xx,dc=xx filter: (&(objectClass=mailUser)(memberOfGroup=list@example.com)) attributes: mail, cn, ...

Roundcube doesn't support this, just wonder, any plan to implement it?

We choose this way to build mailing list membership for iRedMail[1], it's much easier to manage (query and update) membership with a unique email address instead of full ldap dn.
