Can't help with that - apart from pointing you to the documentation at
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/ch09.html#SECTldap
- but unless your organisation is very small and you're absolutely sure
you'll never have 2 "Joe Bloggs", you probably want to be using
something else e.g. look up mailalias="joe.bloggs" to find
userid=jbloggs, so the second Joe Bloggs can get
mailalias="joe.bloggs.too" and userid=jbloggs2 or whatever.
Cheers,
John.
