There are several packages/ports for table-ldap, including one for
OpenBSD. The problem is: the last releases of table-ldap in both
repos are kind of buggy and missing some featers (i.e. tls support).
Thats why I would recommend using the current HEAD of the repo[0].
Also what I forgot in my last mail: table-ldap was in a buggy state
and I currently work on fixing all the bugs. This fixes are not well
tested[1]. So I would recommend to set up some test mailserver and
carefully test it. I don't think[2] there are unknown bugs, but I also
make mistakes.
When you have some problems: just write to the Mailinglist.

In theory: yes. in practice: I don't know, because I don't know your
requirements.

You also can build table-ldap on an other host and copy the binary to
your MX host. Just don't forget to install the runtime dependencies
on your MX.

[0] For the version out of extras: also backport the commit
c64f1d3493325a231037f42f53b1d655f6dcb967
[1] I would guess only by me
[2] I run table-ldap (from extras with the fix[0]) for some time and
haven't seen problems.
