[Kolab-devel] DL of DL: would it be possible?

Well,

DL could be (ab)used for basic mailing lists/aliases other than for
managing ACL of Cyrus Shared folders.

Using it for mailing lists/aliases i got the need to creare DL of DL
(like saing an alias of another alias that need to be resolved by
postfix recursivelly) for situation like that:

I have two domain:
example.com
example.it
example.net
example.de

I have two user account named user1 at example.com and user2 at example.com
that receive email directed to the DL info at example.com .

Now i would like to create info at example.it, info at example.net and
info at example.de that go directly to the same users of info at example.com .

I don't want to specify the list of every users in all DL because this
list could grow and keeping it syncronized between various
.com/.it/.net/.de DL would be time expensive.

Right now it's not possible to creare DL of DL, like info at example.it
that contains as member info at example.com that recursivelly contains the
users behind such DL.

What would be the implication in the kolab design to support as member
of DL other DL to get recursive mailing lists/aliases resolving?

Fabio
