Would be helpful if you mentioned what LDAP: I assume Openldap because
of Samba. Try qmail.schema. I've attached it, the exim list strips
attachments, but I've CCed you :) You don't want posixAccount for
non-shell users. Another useful (not as useful as qmail.schema) schema
is authldap.schema that comes with Courier IMAP.

Small(ish) lists you can set up with qmailuser so:
dn: cn=nederland,ou=mailinglists,ou=groups,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl
objectClass: top
objectClass: qmailUser
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
mail: nederland@???
mailForwardingAddress: kvikk@???
mailForwardingAddress: frigg@???
mailForwardingAddress: sammy@???
sn: nederland
cn: nederland
mailLocalAddress: nederland@???
