aliasfile seems more feasible, i think:

driver=smartuser
local_parts = all_users
search_type = ldap
query = <your ldap query here>

or sg like that - i don't know ldap, it works like this with mysql.

again, i don't know ldap, but iirc you can't do that with extract.
this is something known issue for quite a while now, though i don't
remember any solutiion. if all else fails, you can always fall back to
using the embedded perl interpreter, writing some perl sub that does
the actual ldap lookup, then sanitizes the result, then returns that
to exim. it should not be too expensive (even when the fact that
you're unlikely to send a hundred messages to all your users a day is
also taken into consideration).
