One typical way to handle this would be to have separate subdomains for each
of the ten offices. For instance, if you operate foo.com, and you have
offices in Sydney, Istanbul, Toronto, Atlanta, and Milan, you might have
separate mail servers in each of those locations. You create subdomains like
sydney.foo.com, milan.foo.com, etc. Joe Smith is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You could probably also do this all transparently with qmail-ldap, but I've
never used it. See (I think) lifewithqmail.org/ldap/ or find a pointer from
qmail.org.
