You can use exim for small mailing lists (more like multi-recipient
e-mail aliases). If there is more members you should look at some
full-feature mailing list managers (for example mailman). IMHO.

Try something like this:
LDAP_BASE=dc=example,dc=com
LDAP_CRED=user="CN=ldap%20ldap,CN=Users,LDAP_BASE" pass=12345678
LDAP_FILT=(&(mail=${quote_ldap:it}${quote_ldap:@}${quote_ldap:example.com}))
${sg{
${map
{<\n ${sg{${lookup ldapm
{LDAP_CRED ldap:///LDAP_BASE?member?sub?LDAP_FILT}
}
}{\N, \N}{\n}
}
}
{${lookup ldap{LDAP_CRED ldap:///${quote_ldapdn:$item}?mail?base?}}}
}
}{\N\n\N}{, }}
I'll try to explain this:
The most inner lookup is your ldap query returning DN of list members.
That next ${sg is in expression because ldapm returns data in format:
atribute1_object1, atribute2_object1, atrubite3_object1<new line>
atribute1_object2<new line>
atribute1_object3<new line>
It's needed for object1 in example above (to change ", " into new line).
I don't know if there are such object in your AD, but let's handle them
properly.
${map[1] take that data (one DN per line) and does LDAP query to get email
address from DN of user.
The most outer ${sg make comma separated list from multiple lines.
It's only lightly tested[2] but should work well.
But it's quote inefficient -- one additional ldap query per recipient.
Exim string mangling is explained in chapter 11 of exim spec.

[1] For ${map you need quite a new exim version (4.67?).
[2] Only by exim -be, I don't try exim router with it.
