You read this on some ancient web page that hasn't been updated in years, in
order to come up with this stuff.
Please read the installation instructions in maildrop's INSTALL file,
instead of some outdated stuff that someone else wrote many years ago, never
bothered to update, and is now completely wrong.

That's because it hasn't done so, in years. If you want LDAP, see the
INSTALL file. You need to install something else, first, with the current
version of maildrop. Things have gotten a little bit more complicated, over
the years.

The current one. And you should use the INSTALL instructions from the
current version of maildrop, instead of installation instructions for an
obsolete version, that nobody wants any more.
