Totally up to you, the choice of base for your LDAP tree is completely
independent of OX and whatever makes the most sense for your organization.

Many items (such as contacts/address books) are stored in both LDAP and
SQL databases, so use this approach with caution.

You'd want to do this at the mta level in an aliases file or lookup
table. Some mta's can pull this info from LDAP, but you may be fine
with a flat file like /etc/aliases

Use the --help flag to both programs.
Those are the ones I can answer. :-)
