No.�In-cluster-deliveries are done through qmqp, not qmtp. qmqp is designed
for pumping mails as fast as possible into remote queues, leaving any
rcpt/sender/whatever checks aside; it's only useable in a trusted
environment. Quoting Dan:
"Note that QMQP is _not_ designed for mail injection from dumb clients that
are unable to build complete messages and envelopes. A QMQP server shouldn't
even have to glance at incoming messages, it's only job is to queue them"
qmtp is a smtp replacement.

This should work, indeed. At least if all mail passes your qmail-ldap
host(s).
