Firstly, I don't know about Centrinty FirstClass mail server. Secondly,
what type of backend do you currently use with OpenLDAP?

If your OpenLDAP does not use a sql-based backend, you could write a
script of some kind (bash,python,perl,php ...) and save the wanted data
into comma-separated files with the help of cron or something. 
You also do not mention which operatingsystem you're using. Using the
csv-files mentioned above, and if you're using e.g. any M$-os - they
have a built-in csv-odbc driver you can use. I suggest you contact the
company that wrote the mailserver-software for tips/clues.

Many mailservers today support many LDAP-servers (postfix,sendmail etc)
you might want to look at these. In the end it might just be a bit less
work.
