What's motivation behind this thread? Are you trying to expand a
group whose members are listed indirectly as member DNs? If so,
is there not in Exim some mechanism to automatically expand (make
recursive queries for) DN and LDAP URI values in LDAP results?

Something along the lines of:

http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html#example_group

wherein the LDAP lookup table definition supports:

        result_attribute = maildrop
        special_result_attribute = memberdn


with "result_attribute" holding actual result values, while special_result_attribute
holds indirect result attributes (DNs and URIs), which are expanded recursively.
