in main.cf

virtual_transport = virtual
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/mail/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:virtualMailbox
virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaildomains
virtual_minimum_uid = 1000
virtual_uid_maps = ldap:virtualUID
virtual_gid_maps = ldap:virtualGID

virtualMailbox_server_host = ho.st.na.me
virtualMailbox_search_base = ou=clients,dc=domain,dc=com,dc=au
virtualMailbox_query_filter = (uid=%s)
virtualMailbox_result_attribute = mailbox

virtualAliases_server_host = ho.st.na.me
virtualAliases_search_base = ou=clients,dc=domain,dc=com,dc=au
virtualAliases_query_filter = (maildrop=%s)
virtualAliases_result_attribute = mail

virtualUID_server_host = ho.st.na.me
virtualUID_search_base = ou=clients,dc=domain,dc=com,dc=au
virtualUID_query_filter = (uid=%s)
virtualUID_result_attribute = uidNumber

virtualGID_server_host = ho.st.na.me
virtualGID_search_base = ou=clients,dc=domain,dc=com,dc=au
virtualGID_query_filter = (uid=%s)
virtualGID_result_attribute = gidNumber

You don't need virtualUID/GID if you are using static UID/GID. Also make
sure you have a list of the domains you are accepting mail for in the
file referenced by virtual_mailbox_domains
