I strongly agree. This points out a flaw in the schema/DIT structure, and
not a missing feature of the LDAP protocol. Also note that if you need to
check if a user is a member of the mailing list, you can use the Compare
operation. You could implement the proposed matched values only control,
which I believe is a bad thing that only encourages poor schema/DIT
structure design. The best thing to do is to restructure the information
in the DIT.
