Don't think about LDAP for now, it is just a data delivery mechanism,
you need to decide higher level questions about your MTA process flow.

Prototype the whole system without LDAP in the lab, then use LDAP to
implement as many of:

access(5)
canonical(5)
virtual(5)
transport(5)
aliases(5)
generic(5)

as appropriate. Generally speaking you design your database for
the application, not the application to the database, so for
Postfix and LDAP, figure out what data Postfix needs (get it
working without LDAP) then configure LDAP to provide that data.
