(Hoping some folks from LSOFT read this list!)

Just went through my first setup of LDAP and dynamic queries with
ListServ 16.0.  Very powerful, but have a couple suggestions that might
have made it a tad easier from an administrator standpoint...

    - Connection testing.  It would be great to have a little button
      next to where the connection is set up which you can use to
      ensure the connection works and that the parameters you entered
      are sane.
    - Dynamic query testing.  When I defined a dynamic query, it was
      happily saved and thus I thought the query was fine.  It wasn't
      until I went to a list and tried to insert the query into a
      header that I got a rather generic "failure" error.  I had to
      look in the listserv.log file for more verbose logs telling me I
      was missing a default keyword or something along those lines.
      Again, would be great to have some sort of test button for
      dynamic queries or at least a bit more verbose output (which
      could perhaps be turned on from the debug panel).
    - Query enumeration.  I can obviously pass my query to ldapsearch
      or some other tool to see my results.  But it'd be nice to have a
      way from within the interface to examine the output of one of my
      queries.  Who are the subscribers in one of my sublists?  Who are
      the editors I've defined in a dynamic query?

Overall, very powerful tool.  Thanks.
