We're actually planning on moving our "real" users over to openldap long
range, that's actually how we had it to begin with, this AD stuff was an
office related idea that I'm pushing away from.
I'm actually happy with the perl hack as it doesn't require much setup,
but that's a good idea. I hadn't thought about that, but it might be a
good way of allowing certain users access via their "virtual" AD
existence.

How about this for a kludge/work-around:
Openldap (& maybe other ldap servers) has the ability to retrieve info
from other ldap servers.
Why not configure it to speak to another ldap over 'ldaps' (if you can
do it) and then
exim can speak to the local ldap (on the same machine) over 'ldap'
(which is prob reasonably
secure).
