Looks like it did to
me.  http://x36.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=601299155&search=thread&CONTEXT=954283940.578289689&HIT_CONTEXT=954283940.578289689&HIT_NUM=5&hitnum=1

Someone replied to a message of yours with this (evaldas.auryla@pheur.org)

|  For multiple return values I guess you should add ldap map to your
|  AliasFile option, something like this in your .mc file:
|   
|  define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS',`A')
|  define(`confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC',`-h ldapserver.mydomain -b
|  dc=mydomain,o=myorg')
|  define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/mail/aliases,ldap: -v mailRoutingAddress -k
|  (&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(mail=%0))')

I've also crossed another similar response a month or so ago on
comp.mail.sendmail, from the same person.
