Your org and personal entries look o.k.

Don't know whether it helps, but here is a list that Mozilla 1.1 finds
(it would probably therefore also find yours, dunno), but it can't "see"
the individual members:

dn: cn=localmailgroup,ou=people,ou=groups,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl
objectClass: top
objectClass: nisMailAlias
cn: members@billy.demon.nl
rfc822MailMember: pete@pete.nl
rfc822MailMember: paul@paul.nl
rfc822MailMember: fred@fred.nl
rfc822MailMember: tom
rfc822MailMember: damen
rfc822MailMember: micky

My own mailer MTA, Exim 4, can find both the group and the members and
given a cn of "members", it will send to everyone on the list - your
mailer wil have to be able to do the same with yours.

Best,

Tony
