If you run

  getent passwd

what you got ?

Personnaly I don't run the lmtp against ldap, to risky IMHO, if you got any
problem with the connection betwen your postfix/cyrus server and the ldap
server your are going to loose email.

So for me I'm using a script who dump the ldap inside the /etc/passwd, so
the all account are local.
