for info.

The spec has some details on how LDAP works in exim. The spec doesn't
say a whole lot about LDAP because LDAP is "just another" lookup type.
You can use it anywhere a lookup is allowed.

One way to start out is with the 'eximconfig' script in the debian
package. It will generate a config file (for 3.xx) that follows one
of 4 common patterns of usage. It gives you a start from which you
can work with. Philip's release also comes with a sample config file.
Start with one of those and have the spec handy to read through a few
times.

HTH,
