P.S. Already able to authenticate Courier and Exim4 with LDAP, but now thinging about multiple virtual domain implementation. Need to consider both Samba, Exim4, Courier and eGroupWare (WOW!) requirement... E.g. Multiple DN is not allowed in Courier ldapauth... May be clone eGroupWare design? From egroupware/addressbook/doc/README:

LDAP layout used for the eGroupWare addressbook
-----------------------------------------------

dc=domain,dc=com    base DN of your LDAP server
|
+-o=default         base DN for the addressbook of eGroupWare domain / DB instance "default"
| |                 (specified in Admin >> Addressbook >> Site config)
| |
| +-ou=accounts     base DN for accounts (specified in Setup >> Configuration)
| | +-uid=ralf      entry for user ralf
| | +-uid=lars      entry for user lars
| | +-uid=...       other users
| |
| +-ou=groups       base DN for groups (specified in Setup >> Configuration)
| | +-cn=Default    entry for the group Default
