You should have a look to qmail-ldap, it's designed for such environments.
You should also consider upgrading to maildirs instead of mailboxes, it's
really worth the work.
qmail-ldap runs great, really fast and rock-solid. Builtin cluster support
might be interesting too... oh, quota support is also builtin ;-))
