At least with the LDAP server we used in production (Netscape iPlanet,
or whatever they're calling it this week), the LDAP server was happy
to do that check. It prevented users from adding or changing a
mailAlternateAddress if another entry with that mailAlternateAddress
already existed.
Unfortunately, I ran the mail servers, not the LDAP servers, so I
don't know how this was done. We may have used some kind of plugin
("uniqueness plugin" sounds familiar, but I'm not sure)
