RE: Mailing list query
An alternate way of implementing this would be to have the Mail Group entry itself store a list of the mail/uid attributes of all of the members of the mail group. Then all you would need to do is to update the mailgroup entries to store the associate mail/uid values. Then you can adjust your postfix config to return this multi-valued attribute from the group entry itself. This might require you to make a custom objectclass and attribute or there may be an existing RFC objectclass/attribute that is suitable but I am not certain of what that would be. Also be aware that updating the ldap-alias.cf will affect regular mail to a single user and you might have to use two separate ldap-alias.cf files one to handle normal mail and another to specifically handle the mail group case.

nothing smarter than slapcat | sed | slapadd (with appropriate options,
of course; and stop slapd first).
