First something about ldap:
I don't think that we need multi-master for BlueQuarz and when we  
resurrect the Cobalt-Management-RaQ(this code isn't free!?) a single- 
master/multi-slave should be enough.
OpenLDAP-2.4 (Centos5 uses 2.3.27;-( ) does support multi-master  
(haven't tried it myself but: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/ 
replication.html#LDAP%20Sync%20Replication


next: This should not end in an Sendmail<->Postfix flamewar!

I've another thing to mention: Sendmail only supports one(1)  
virtusertable! You configure it with something like this:
FEATURE(`virtusertable', `ldap:-1 -k (&(objectClass=<mailObjectClass>) 
(|(mail=%0)(<someOtherMailAttribute>=%0))) -v  
uid,<anotherAttribValue>,<thirdAttribValue>')dnl
instead of
FEATURE(`virtusertable', `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')

and no text-based file any more

with postfix you do
virtual_alias_maps = ldap:virtual_local, hash:$confdir/virtusertable,  
regexp:$confdir/regexp

i.e:
then configure your maps
virtual_local_host = 127.0.0.1
virtual_local_search_base = dc=<domain>,dc=<my>
virtual_local_query_filter = (&(objectClass=<mailObjectClass>)(|(mail= 
%s)(<someOtherMailAttribute>=%s)))
virtual_local_result_attribute =  
uid,<anotherAttribValue>,<thirdAttribValue>

the format of the postfix-map is nealry the same as the sendmail map.
this like "@domain	%1+%2@other_domain" doesn't work any more but the  
regex-typetype is far more advanced as you kan use real regular  
expressions!

Most of the sendmail-milters do work with postfix (I only know clamav- 
milter not working with postfix (you have to change 1 line of code))


I know both MTA very well and IMHO Postfix is the better choice ãàŽ¦  
just my 5ct.
