Description Carsten Guenther 2005-10-07 17:53:36 UTC 
Also see bug 311884 for more details on the subject.

I am about to file a patch to change the LDAP-search filter from

    (&(objectclass=person)(...))

to

    (&(mail=*)(...))

This will ensure that also mailing-lists are included.

Comment 4 Sushma Rai 2005-10-10 05:07:58 UTC 
I think it is better to have a configurable search filter instead
of hardcoding it as objectclass=person or objectclass=mail, etc.

with objectclass=mail, objects without e-mail id wouldn't get
displayed.

Comment 5 Carsten Guenther 2005-10-10 05:17:36 UTC 
I do not think this is a duplicate. Even if we make the search filter configurable (by fixing 311884), the 
default filter should work for mailing-lists. Furthermore this is a trivial change which can be applied to 2.4 
stable.
Comment 6 Sushma Rai 2005-10-10 12:05:28 UTC 
But the objects without e-mail ids will not be accessible through Evolution.
May be we need to go for objectclass=person || objectclass=mail.
Making the filter configurable is the clean solution for this problem.
Comment 7 Carsten Guenther 2005-10-25 23:57:37 UTC 
Changed the search filter to "(|(objectclass=person)(mail=*))" in gnome-2-12 branch.

Closing FIXED.
