That didn't work, and shouldn't work (according to the documentation).
I did try it (editting the .cf rather than using the .mc file) to make
sure
there wasn't something weird with Sendmail, but I get the same response
(which I should: defining the map on its own vs. using it directly in
the
AliasFile option is just a semantics thing - the map definition is
exactly
the same...).  The suggestion from Evaldas should only return the first
value
in a multi-valued list, according to the spec (and that is backed up by
my
observations).

For a little more information:  I am running sendmail on a RedHat 6.1
box,
with the LDAP server running on a Solaris box (I've also used my Linux
box
as a backup LDAP server to make sure it's not the Solaris box being
screwy).

I've tried removing quotes, adding quotes, removing space, adding spaces
(from each of the parameters individually) - nothing's worked.

What really irks me is that this worked (with ldapx) under Sendmail
beta10.
But now you get an 'ldapx depreciated' error if you use an ldapx map.
