OpenLDAP is the trouble: 

If you search your sendmail.cf, you'll see that you search for a
mailRoutingAddress AND and an objectclass. OpenLDAP doesn't seem to
understand that more than one objectclass can be searched on. You can try
putting the "objectclass: inetLocalMailRecipient" on top of the list.

I do not understand this comment. You can put as many objectClasses
as you like in a search filter, and OpenLDAP responds as expected;
you don't need to muck with the ordering of the values, because it
is definitely irrelevant. The standard query that comes with sendmail
(based on draft-lachman-laser-*) always worked fine out of the box
without need for tailoring.


I had the same trouble, so I started to perform a normal ldapsearch,
querying like sendmail would do, and it didn't give me any results either. 

I fixed this by changing the query from sendmail (read the FAQ) by not
searching it for objectclasses.
