Right now, we poll our (Microsoft) Global Directory server once per hour, pull down the entire tree, sanitise the results (there are lots of non-RFC compliant addresses in there) and build a recipient map out of it.  This has been the /single greatest step/ we've taken to reduce the amount of spam our internal Exchange servers have to deal with: down from half a million per day to around 85,000.

Can't really speak for Daniel, but I use a rather simplistic bash
script using ldapsearch and some more or less clever grep/sort/uniq
statements. The "tricky part" was getting the query right, but not
even close to rocket sience:-) (Would've used the perl script, if I
hadn't written this one already ...:-):-).
