I've never used it but DragonFly Mail Agent (dma) is smaller in size than
nullmailer and doesn't run as a daemon. It is advocated as a replacement

Returning to ldap; using
dpkg -l | grep ldap
will give ldap related packages on the system. Then
apt-cache rdepends <ldap_related_package>
will give the packages (which may or not be on the system) which use
<ldap_related_package>. I bet kaddressbook is one of them.
