That definitely sounds like a personalization of <draft-lachman-laser-
ldap-mail-routing>, which expired in 2001 and was initially implemented
in sendmail and later replaced by more sophisticated inhouse schemas,
while other MTAs directly took their own direction.  Only, that draft
uses mailLocalAddress instead of mailAlternateAddress (which definitely
sounds like a Netscape dfined attribute), and it's AUXILIARY rather than
derived from inetOrgPerson.
