ACK. Unfortunately, many people fail to see this.

I wrote a module that would integrate OG with Sympa. The attempt was 
abandoned because the integration couldn't be made as good as 
neccessary. OG2list is the follow-up of this. It allows to create 
mailing lists through Drupal which wasn't possible with og_sympa.

Beware: The installation of og2list requires advanced knowledge in MTA 
configuration.
