Ah. Well it does if you build it in (BTW 4.32 is now the current stable
release of Exim).

If you haven't build Exim with the appropriate LDAP options turned on, then
you're never going to be able to use it to do LDAP lookups agains
Exchage/Active Directory.

Take a look at your Local/Makefile in your build tree and search for LDAP.
You'll need to uncomment the appropriate entries for your environment. For
me it's:

LOOKUP_LDAP=yes
LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP2
LOOKUP_LIBS=-lldap -llber

As long as you don't change any of the other settings in your Local/Makefile
it is unlikely you will break anything. However before typing 'make install'
you should test the new exim binary in the build-* directory by doing the
same set of -bh and -bt etc tests as you would test any other config
changes to make sure all of the types of mail you expect to handle are
handled appropriately.

You're definitely going to have to rebuild exim to do LDAP lookups if you
didn't do that in the first place. Sorry.
