Just one note, the definition of this attribute should follow the "normal" 
mail attribute in regards of syntax and matches:

attributetype ( <<local OID>> NAME 'mailType'
         DESC 'SUP type for various mail address related stuff'
         EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
         SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch
         SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} )

Of course, one needs an unique local OID, or just take the definition from 
qmail :
