Googling for "postfix ldap aliases" gave the Postfix documentation as the first result:
http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html#example_alias
Reading the whole document is recommended.
By default, Postfix expects the attribute "mailacceptinggeneralid" to be present for any user account who should receive e-mail. Its result should be presented to Postfix as "maildrop". Both may be changed to something else if required in your environment.
A sample object is shown here: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/mail_systems/postfix_documentation/LD...
For further assistance, you should present your setup and any findings so far.

Here is the implementation we use - modified from info found in the Internet.
It took me some time to figure this out too, so I hope I can help.
The "owner" attribute was added to ease ACLs on alias entries.
