Hi,

It's not so trivial but possible to make sendmail working with LDAP
(concerning aliases only).

First, you will have to recompile sendmail in order to include LDAP
fonctionnalities. Second, if you use m4 for Sendmail configuration
(is it possible to use something else without going mad ? ;o) you can
use something like this into your "sendmail.mc" :

  Kldapaliases ldapx -b"o=My Org,c=FR" -k"mailAlias=%s"  -h"127.0.0.1" -v mailDrop  
  define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,sequence:ldapaliases')dnl

Good luck !
