You can create listmembers with an LDAP filter. In my setup i have
defined an attribute mailAliasLDAPFilter that takes an LDAP filter to
find list members. To address all users with a mail address on could use
something like:
mailAliasLDAPFilter: (&(objectclass=inetorgperson)(mail=*)).

If the corresponding exim router does not find a filter for an email
address it continues with the next router which handles aliases defined
in the LDAP directory.
