Mailing lists with Postfix - OpenLDAP based

PeGa!

Hi people, I need to create a mailing list inside an OpenLDAP, which works as a backend for Postfix. After googling a while, I found out that slapd.conf supports a configuration named overlays (in fact, the official documentation talks about it), and it's also mentioned in the slapd.conf's manual saying that the "dynlist" overlay is used to dynamically create a list with all users in the LDAP database.

My server is a Gentoo Linux 2007.0, with:

I use postfix + ldap, but for list management i use mailman.

Well, this is for an enterprise LAN, so, the idea is that employees (specially those working in Human Resources) could mail the entire list just clicking a single contact in their address book, which would comprise all employees listed in OpenLDAP at the moment. That's why i'm looking for a solution LDAP based.

How could i do that with something like mailman?
