The bad news are that you can't use the integrated LDAP in domino for 
something else than domino attributes.
You can't modify or add external schemas (like posix, samba, etc ...) , 
or has that changed ?
Last time i looked at that it wasn't. Even their email addresses are not 
really compliants because it's a combination of the mail, uid and other 
attributes (like short name/alternate name)
I had to put a sendmail relay box in front of multiple domino servers 
and i prefered querying the ldap once and build a local access table for 
sendmail than querying the domino ldap for each incoming mail.
BTW i had to specify '-b ROOT' for the ldapsearch command before i could 
list the attributes
Hope that it helps
