The attributes listed in the documentation are sync'ed. Others are ignored.
(the list is slightly different for groups vs. users).

Dunno. Obviously postfix will expect some schema. You can
either try to sync that over from AD, in which case it'd need to
conform to the sync'ed attributes list mentioned above. Or you'd
need to add the postfix-specific attributes on the FDS side.

Not sure, but this may help:

It seems that Postfix can be configured to use whatever attribute
names you want, so you may be able to use standard schema
at least in the case that you aren't doing virtual domains.
