I don't make schemas, I don't use attributes, I just make a group put
people into it and tell Evo 1.0.8 and thus Exim 4.10-8 to mail it.

Actually, that's not quite right. F.ex. my members group looks like
(remember that this is Openldap 2.1.8 and that I configure my own Exim
for LDAP lookups):

dn: cn=localmailgroup,ou=people,ou=groups,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl
objectClass: top
objectClass: nisMailAlias
structuralObjectClass: nisMailAlias
cn: members billy demon nl
rfc822MailMember: pete demon nl
rfc822MailMember: paul demon nl
rfc822MailMember: fred landis nl
rfc822MailMember: evy
rfc822MailMember: tonye
rfc822MailMember: torgeir

-- etc.

Those without qualified mail addresses are fictive local users, LDAP
Posix accounts or /etc/passwd. And Landis.nl is bankrupt and dead long
ago, and the Demon.nl users don't exist, so don't spam.

Not groups, just people - like Mozilla 1.2. Groups you do with the
actual Unix MTA (smtp server).

I don't *need* you Chris, or any other Hungry people, for that matter -
I provide my own solutions. But others obviously do need you.

Well good for you, fellow.

Best,
