Isn't LDAP a bit of a security hassle?  I would think it is pretty common to 
have Mailman running on a machine along side MySQL, Apache and and MTA of 
some sort but wouldn't throwing in LDAP be more like requiring people install  
a CVS daemon to use Mailman?  I'm no LDAP guru but from what I have looked at 
previously it certainly seemed that way.
