I don't follow. It's been in dbmail forever. Take a look at dbmail.schema.
To summarize:
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.12340.6.2.2.1 NAME 'dbmailUser'
DESC 'DBMail-LDAP User' SUP top AUXILIARY
MUST ( uid $ mail )
MAY ( userPassword $ uidNumber $ gidNumber $ mailQuota $
mailForwardingAddress $ mailHost $
mailAlternateAddress $ dbmailUID $ dbmailGID $
deliveryMode $ accountStatus ) )
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.12340.6.2.2.2 NAME 'dbmailForwardingAddress'
DESC 'DBMail-LDAP Forwarding Address' SUP top AUXILIARY
MUST ( mail $ mailForwardingAddress ) )
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.12340.6.2.2.3 NAME 'dbmailDomain'
DESC 'DBMail-LDAP Virtual Domain' SUP top STRUCTURAL
MUST ( mailDomain )
MAY ( userPassword $ mailQuota $ mailForwardingAddress $
mailHost $ mailCluster ) )

There is nothing 2.3-ish about any of this.
