So after checking sympa doc ( and code source ), we face a problem
here .

Here
( http://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios#named_filters ),
this is explained that we can do a query to ldap to find if a email can
post to a list. So far so good. 

But just one query.

And so, I am unable to find a query who can give me the list of email of
people of a ldap group in our ldap ( as we do not use memberOf )

We have 3 solutions :
- someone add the support for ldap queries with 2 level in sympa ( as
this is done for others ldap usage )

- we use slapo-memberof
( http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html )

- we use slapo-dynlist ( same page )

slapo-memberof seems to be what we want, but this doesn't seems dynamic
( ie, we will have to update the 10 existing entries in ldap to make
them compliant ).

slapo-dynlist seems overkill.

Any LDAP guru to give insight ?
