That would almost do (almost because your uid attribute probably isn't a
complete mailaddress, but %s will be), but you can make it even simpler
for yourself:

classtag_server_host = ldap.linfield.edu
classtag_search_base = ou=classlists,o=linfield.edu
classtag_query_filter = (uid=%u)
classtag_result_attribute = uid
classtag_result_format = %slocalhost.linfield.edu
classtag_domain = linfield.edu

That way you don't have to add any data to your LDAP directory.
