Okay. I got tired of BerkeleyBD/OracleDB/whatever issues and migrated
everything to OpenLDAP. I have simple shell scripts to create, add and
delete aliases. I will show them here in case someone else is interested
in LDAP + Sendmail integration:

fbsd15:~ $ cat /root/bin/sm_add_alias
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

PROG=$(basename $0)

[ $# -eq 2 ] || { echo "$PROG usage: $PROG alias value"; exit 1; }

KEY=$1
VALUE=$2

ldapadd -x -D cn=root,dc=fbsd15,dc=local -w pw -H ldap://fbsd15.local -f <(cat <<EOF
dn: sendmailMTAKey=$KEY,dc=fbsd15,dc=local
objectClass: sendmailMTA
objectClass: sendmailMTAAlias
objectClass: sendmailMTAAliasObject
sendmailMTAAliasGrouping: aliases
sendmailMTACluster: mtacluster
sendmailMTAKey: $KEY
sendmailMTAAliasValue: $VALUE
description: foo
EOF
)


fbsd15:~ $ cat /root/bin/sm_add_alias_value 
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

PROG=$(basename $0)

[ $# -eq 2 ] || { echo $PROG usage: $PROG alias value; exit 1; }

ALIAS=$1
VALUE=$2

ldapmodify -ZZ -D cn=root,dc=fbsd15,dc=local -w pw -h fbsd15.local -f <(cat <<EOF
dn: sendmailMTAKey=$ALIAS,dc=fbsd15,dc=local
changetype: modify
add: sendmailMTAAliasValue
sendmailMTAAliasValue: $VALUE
EOF
)

fbsd15:~ $ cat /root/bin/sm_delete_alias
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

PROG=$(basename $0)

[ $# -eq 1 ] || { echo $PROG usage: $PROG alias; exit 1; }

ALIAS=$1

ldapdelete -x -H ldap://fbsd15.local -w3 -D cn=root,dc=fbsd15,dc=local -w pw sendmailMTAKey=$ALIAS,dc=fbsd15,dc=local
