If you are using Postfix, it's pretty simple to do ldap or mysql 
lookups.  If you have a corporate directory -- even in AD --  and it 
happens to include a field that defines where the office is, you can 
point postfix to that via ldap and use a local_recipients_map lookup to 
pull it out.  You'll need an AD user to bind as, and AD's schema is 
quite frustrating -- you might find it easier to make a static file or 
something and use local_recipeints_map pull it from there.

Anyhow just brainstorming with you, I'm sure you've thought further 
along anyhow.  Good luck...
