    Thanks to Synrat for the solution and Carinus Carelse and Steve Rieger for
    their additional help...

    The solution was:
    > if you only need to deliver to local users, then you just need to setup
    your mail server as ldap client.
    > postfix then will use nsswitch to find recepients (very fast and reliable
    solution ). read ldapinit man pages.
    >if you want to use postfix to look for various ldap attributes, you need to
    link it against LDAP libraries when compiling and then do lookups on
    various directory trees. ( works ok )
    >smth. like this for the second case.
    >make makefiles CC=cc CCARGS="-DHAS_LDAP -I /usr/include/" \
    >AUXLIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -R/usr/lib -lldap"
    >
    >make; make install
    >
    >then edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
