You're in luck; I just happen to have a patch that does exactly this,
since we were also using that feature of sendmail. I've attached it.
The patch was originally done against version 19990906-pl09. I haven't
tried it against the newest release (although I hopefully will soon),
so if it doesn't work let me know.

Once you build the patch, you need a new line in your main.cf to enable
it. The line should look like:

    xxx_munge_name=yes

where 'xxx' is the same prefix that you used on the other LDAP
config lines (xxx_search_base, etc.) for that particular LDAP map.

Currently the patch will strip out any non-alphanumeric character up until
it sees a '' sign. Thus it shouldn't munge domains names. The domain
part hasn't been thoroughly tested since I only use LDAP in an alias map,
but it should work just fine.
