Could it be that LDAP is allowed to be accessed by the internet?

I'm not sure, but I think you can get the e-mail addresses of users using an
LDAP query without being authenticated.

The spammer could have used LDAP to retreive all e-mail addresses it can
find and send spam to those addresses.

I have a question you say everyone got this message but did the message 
specifically send to their (your clients) email id or was it just a spam 
message? Check the header of the message and see who the recipients are.
