Which release of Exim? The headers in your message suggest that you are
using 4.22.

The ChangeLog for 4.50 contains this entry:
54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of
LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A patch that reportedly fixes this has
been added. I am not expert enough to create a test for it. This is
what the patch creator wrote:
"I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit
code of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of
LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. But simultaneously result of request
was absolutely normal ldap result, so I produce this patch..."
Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support
LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude
the patch when that macro is not defined.
If you are in fact using 4.50 or later, then it would seem that this
patch is not working.
General Note to The List: Please try to get into the habit of stating
which Exim version you are using. It does make it easier to respond.
