I'm looking for suggestions on storing email aliases in ldap.  It seems that 
sendmail has one schema and postfix a different one.  389 doesn't appear to 
support either out of the box.  Are there any standardization efforts out there?

Thanks!

Try like below

dn: sendmailMTAKey=testuser,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: sendmailMTA
objectClass: sendmailMTAAlias
objectClass: sendmailMTAAliasObject
sendmailMTAAliasGrouping: aliases
sendmailMTACluster: ldapter-cluster
sendmailMTAKey: testuser
sendmailMTAKey: tuser
sendmailMTAKey: testu
sendmailMTAKey: test.user
sendmailMTAKey: test_user
sendmailMTAAliasValue: test_user(a)example.com
sendmailMTAAliasValue: user.tes

replace the cluster name with the one you have mentioned in sendmail.mc file

Once the above entries are added to ldap server, please test using
sendmail -bv command and see whether it returns the correct results or
not.

Add the server address and basedn to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file.

schemas that have application specific names in them (sendmailMTA*) make me 
shiver.  Seems to defeat the purpose of a directory server.


I'm leaning towards using mailGroup as it does seem to be in 389 (though I 
needed to make some changes there due to trying to implement ldap routing as 
well) and as the postfix howto mentions it seems usable there too.  With 
sendmail one does:

define(`ALIAS_FILE', `ldap:-k (&(objectClass=mailGroup)(mail=%0)) -v 
mgrpRFC822MailMember')


Now if I can only figure out how to use /etc/aliases + ldap in sendmail, if 
possible.
