I was interested in a specific part of this email and was hoping to find
more information here.

The sendmail LDAP routing feature. I've heard of this an was trying to find
more information on this as well. Specifically, how to set it up, and
implement it. Im currently working on setting up MS as a mail gateway and
would like to use the LDAP routing feature.
I've been unsuccessfully so far in trying to find more information on how
to go about setting this up.
Could I trouble you to point me in the right direction?
I do appreciate it.
