Yes, exchange2aliases (ldap2aliases is for IMail MXs fronting IMail or
other  OpenLDAP  mailbox  servers) is designed for situations in which
the  mailbox  server(s)  are owned by, or at least open to control by,
the MX provider.

Though ORF speaks AD LDAP natively, it too is not built out-of-the-box
to  support  a  wide  range  of  remote mailbox servers with real-time
validation  and/or  live  recipient  list  updates (updates that don't
require  that  the ORF service be restarted). As a result, most end up
using ORF's plain-text recipient lists, which unlike LDAP does require
a  quick  service  restart  when the list is updated. If you have more
than  one  ORF  server,  rolling restarts will do you fine, but with a
single  server  and  high load, it can require more hoops to be jumped
through  to  ensure  that  nothing aberrant (leakage, orphans) happens
while the service restarts.

IME,  the  best  solution  with  ORF is to import the remote recipient
lists  into  a  dedicated AD/ADAM LDAP server (which happens live) and
point  ORF to that server for recipient validation (which also happens
live).  This  gives  you  a  real-time  route  for  consolidating  the
recipient  lists of multiple remote mail servers, but it requires real
LDAP knowledge to set up.
