When the job is repeatedly looking up values in a hierarchical schema,
a relational database isn't a great choice. This is exactly the kind of
task ldap is meant for, and it does it very well.  Courier, dovecot,
sendmail, postfix, sasl, etc will all happily use ldap.

LDAP does seem to have some major advantages. Even with a PostgreSQL backend to LDAP, it runs much better than PostgreSQL by itself?
