The primary thing to realize with Mailman 2.x is that each mailing list maintains its own membership rosters. You might be a member of both zope@zope.org and zodb-dev@zope.org, but there's no sharing of your account information between those two lists. It's likely that Mailman 2.1 will contain hooks on a per-list basis so that an individual mailing list can get additional membership information out of an external source. Federating the user database in the way you want is a Project for Mailman 3.0. -Barry
