Hmm, perhaps Michael Hall will be able to tell,
but my first guess it that the 'mailer-daemon' sender address
only appears in the From: header of the mail, and that the
smtp envelope sender address is null, which is how it would
be for bounces generated by Postfix or some other mailer.

So to whitelist such sender address, you need to specify a
null string as a sender address in lookup table, not 'mailer-daemon'.
I'm not sure if this works well with LDAP, it certainly does
with static tables.
