The Filter is used as part of another LDAP query:

To reduce the number of LDAP lookups to be made, first of all i get the
needed attributes and put them in $address_data.

In the router which handles lists defined by an LDAP filter i can get
the data with the following lookup:

   data = ${lookup ldapm {ldap:///LDAP_BASE?mail?sub?\
                          ${extract{mailaliasldapfilter}{$address_data}}\
                         } {$value} fail \
           }


But what do you mean with LDAP objects that should be handled by Exim?

Regards,

Philipp
