This site uses LDAP for postfix/dovecot administration since about ten
years.
We use qmailControl.schema (to define the domains, which are accepted at
this site) and qmail.schema (to define the mailboxes whithin these
domains).

Basically the schema should :
- Be OpenLDAP compatible
Not a problem.
- Allow multidomain
I don't know what this means.
- Host transports for each defined account / email address.
This is not a good idea. Avoid using LDAP for transport lookups.
Instead:
- rewrite envelope recipients to an appropriate destination
domain via virtual(5) (i.e. virtual_alias_maps).
- explicitly set virtual_alias_domains (even if empty).
- Map each destination domain to a suitable transport via
an indexed file (Berkeley DB hash or btree, CDB, ...)
- Integrate with dovecot and/or cyrus-imapd.
Postfix will happily use any schema in which lookup keys
(typically email addresses) can be mapped to a result
value (or list of values which are transformed to a comma-separated
result string) by a query as explained in:
http://www.postfix.org/ldap_table.5.html
http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html
Postfix has no preferred LDAP schemas, it operates at a higher level of
abstraction, i.e. virtual_alias_maps, transport_maps, ... which can be
implemented via LDAP if you so choose. The mapping between an actual
LDAP dataset and the conceptual Postfix key/value table is up to you.
