You will find nothing of the sort. LDAP does not have "functions".
The suggestion is that you store the addresses in LDAP.

mail: foo.barexample.com
mailAlternateAddress: f.barexample.com

Or whatever your schema supports.

You may use a function, possibly in your favourite scripting language,
to generate the alternate addresses. Use can then easily use virtual
rewriting to transform mailAlternateAddress -> mail if you need to.
