IIRC, this way of doing LDAP lookups is obsolete. You need to move your 
LDAP configuration to a separate file. Refer to 
http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html for how it should be done.

When you have set everything up correctly, test your LDAP lookup with 
"postmap -q". How to do this is also explained in LDAP_README.
