Well, you may try MailAlternateAddress, this attribute is multi-valued.
for example here's the ldapsource i use for a postfix configuration:
	ldapsource_server_host = $myhostname
	ldapsource_server_port = 389
	ldapsource_search_base = dc=test,dc=org
	ldapsource_timeout = 5
	ldapsource_query_filter =
(&(objectclass=mailrecipient)(mailalternateaddress=%s))
	ldapsource_result_attribute = mail
well you have to put it on 
	virtual_maps =  ldap:ldapsource
	alias_maps = ldap:ldapsource
It was pretty simple with postfix as usual :)
I dont know if you can set a query_filter with sendmail
but this is not an ldap problem, that's why you dont have to hate LDAP
for that !
