Which version of OpenLDAP are you using?  are you
running slapd?  I didn't think any OpenLDAP slapd
returns LDAP_UNDEFINED_TYPE.

The server shouldn't be returning schema errors if
schema checking is off...

I think you have a software mismatch or something.

If you had schema check on (and running OpenLDAP slapd),
I'd expect an objectclass violation to be returned.  "account"
doesn't allow userpassword nor maildrop.  You'll need to
extend the schema.  See the archives and/or slapd.*.conf
for examples.
