Hmmm ... Sorry Bill, I can see that this was less than helpful.

I can tell you how I organize my ldap aliases. However, how your mail
server makes use of them is up to you. I can help you with Exim, but not
Qmail, Postfix or Sendmail.
___________

1: As Adam says, nisMailAlias OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.1.2.5 is already
defined in nis.schema. 

Same schema: rfc822MailMember 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.2.1.15 is an allowed
attribute, required attribut is cn.

So, don't include rfc822-MailMember.schema in slapd.conf.

2: Make a group, call it happygroup:

cn=happygroup,ou=Aliases,dc=emtex,dc=com

give it an extra cn, say cn=happygroup@emtex.com

put your aliases (any mail alias you want) into it as follows:

rfc822MailMember: postmaster@emtex.com
rfc822MailMember: jogdial@emtex.com
rfc822MailMember: billd@anotherdomain.com
etc.

So that your ldif file looks like:

dn: happygroup,ou=Aliases,dc=emtex,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: nisMailAlias
structuralObjectClass: nisMailAlias
rfc822MailMember: postmaster
rfc822MailMember: jogdial
rfc822MailMember: billd@anotherdomain.com
rfc822MailMember: fred@yetanotherdomain.net
rfc822MailMember: fred
rfc822MailMember: joe
rfc822MailMember: sue
cn: happygroup@emtex.com

That's the kind of thing I have for my group aliases.

For my system aliases I use Lachman-laser:

dn: cn=mailer-daemon,ou=Aliases,dc=mainserver,dc=emtex,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
sn: mailer-daemon
cn: mailer-daemon
structuralObjectClass: person
mailHost: localhost
mailLocalAddress: bin@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: daemon@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: adm@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: admin@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: lp@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: sync@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: shutdown@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: halt@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: mail@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: news@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: uucp@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: operator@mainserver.emtex.com
mailLocalAddress: root@mainserver.emtex.com
+++ etc etc. +++
mailhost: localhost
mailRoutingAddress: billd@emtex.com

Hope this helps,

Tony
