Certainly! Everything looks good here, so far. It looks like it is
getting the correct info when I use ldapsearch and this bind_dn. It is
just trying to be difficult I'm sure ;).  It is frustrating because the
ldap logs seem to indicate that it is getting the info it needs.

Below is the ldap section

ldap
        host                                   172.16.0.20:389
        use_ssl                               0
        timeout                              10
        suffix                                 o=users,dc=darkdna,dc=net
        get_dn_by_uid_filter           (uid=[sender])
        get_dn_by_email_filter        (mail=[sender])
        email_attribute                   mail
        bind_dn                             
uid=sympa,o=users,dc=darkdna,dc=net
        bind_password                   XXX
        scope                                 one
