Phil,
Does the query need to return a list of addresses, or does it just need to
return some data? In other words is this sort of thing possible.
course_lists:
driver = forwardfile
domains = courses.anaheim.bath.ac.uk
no_more
senders = ldap;ldap:///o=bath.ac.uk?mail?sub?\
(&(uid=\${local_part:\$sender_address})(employeetype=staff))
file = /opt/lists/${uc:local_part}
forbid_pipe
forbid_file
no_check_local_user
