Hi,
(NOTE: This may sound slightly cryptic to those who're new to DNS and
mailservers. I'm sorry about that but this is the best I can do for a
short explanation in the right direction. A detailed discussion could
ensue at one of our meetings, probably after we go through the relavant
HOWTO's)
What you're looking at is a good DNS setup! You have to setup a
primary DNS in your main office which talks to subdomainized secondary DNS
at the locations from where you plan to check mail every 15 min (lets
call this location xyz). You need a master alias file on the primary DNS
which has to be replicated (and kept sync'ed) on the secondary DNS as
well.
Now, when you receive a mail on your main office server, it does a
DNS lookup for the recipient and it finds that he/she is at 'xyz'. You
have to specify in the secondary DNS that the MX (mail exchanger) for the
location xyz is your linux machine (mailserver) at that location. So it
forwards the mail for that recipient to your mailserver at location xyz.
That solves your problem.

Vinod
