I do this with sendmail.  I don't do it on a large scale, as I don't have
a generalised need, but I do some domain-address--X.400-address conversion.
I have a fax gateway that allows me to use a simple domain-style address
(from the user's standpoint) and deliver to an X.400 fax service.  I also
have a little email that goes to some X.400 sites.  It isn't hard.
