A global company (the group) is headquartered in Scandinavia. 25+ companies comprise the group around the world, each company with its own mailserver and mailserver software.

Xx.yy () groupname com, regardless of where the mail account lives, yet still give local control over the email server.
You need a table of name -> location mappings which each mail server can use to route email. You could distribute the table using whatever technology you like, e.g. LDAP. Google for Schlumberger Exim LDAP for a complicated example, though it can be done much more simply.
