I have spoken to our users and lower admin staff to find out what we need.

We need to be able to do wildcard searches on these fields :

cn,sn,mail,uid,mailAlternateAddress and mailForwardAddress

This is because we use the LDAP as an address book, and use LAST ( 
http://sysadminsith.org/software/last/ ) for admin work.

So here is are my proposed indexes :

index           cn pres,eq,sub
index           sn pres,eq,sub
index           mail eq,sub
index           uid eq, pres
index             mailAlternateAddress eq, sub
index           mailForwardAddress eq, sub
index           objectClass eq

Which you will notice is actually larger than the original....

Could it be running slow when sending mail to all users because I am not 
indexing mailForwardingAddress at the moment, and my mailing lists are users 
set to forwardonly with loads of mail forwarding addresses?
