Rather than update the list on-the-fly, you would probably do better to use a
DISTRIBUTE job with a SQL SELECT statement that pulls the desired recipients
from the database at the time of the mailing.  The challenge here is that LDAP
databases do not use SQL.  You would need a 3rd party product such as 'Enlist'
by Persistent Data which is a SQL/LDAP translator/connector to make the direct
query.  We have several L-Soft customers using this method with good success.
