There's a lot of manual patching involved, and little gotchas in a few places. If you have some experience with C and Makefiles, it's not too hard to get this module working, but if not, it will be very difficult until it becomes part of the distribution (and then, it'll just be a configure option, like ./configure --with-auth=ldap ;-)
Basically, hack up the Makefile so that the AUTHOBJECT is defined to be authldap.c (in the root dbmail-1.x/ directory) and make changes as needed in places where teh AUTHOBJECT is assumed to be in the same directory as the DBOBJECT's are. Also, add -lldap in the LIBS line, and then grep for db_connect() in the source code. Every db_connect() should be followed by an auth_connect(), likewise for db_disconnect(). Take a shot at compiling, and hack until it works ;-) For the dbmail.conf file, see back a few posts and I listed the options.
