I don't know of any mail servers that are LDAP based but I do know that
many of them can query an LDAP server for users and passwords.
Postfix has built-in LDAP integration, I'm sure you can make Sendmail do
it somehow but most - if not all - of them could be made to use LDAP (as
long as they use PAM) by using a PAM LDAP module:
<http://www.padl.com/pam_ldap.html>
An RPM for YDL is available here:
<http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/yellowdog/1.0/champion-1.2/ppc/YellowDog/RPMS/pam_ldap-36-1.ppc.html>
For systems other than YDL:
<http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/pam_ldap.html>
<http://rpmfind.doc.ic.ac.uk/pam_ldap.html>
