I wrote one for use with Postfix and Domino - but i think you can easily
use the scripts to grab LDAP 'stuff' from any LDAP server (Domino,
Exchange, OpenLDAP) and build 'access lists' or 'recipient lists' so
sendmail can do "if user not in recipient list, then reject"

There appears to be 3 examples
