Domain mailbox is located at ISP and and managing of it is under ISP control.

 I can't do that because "main site" isn't visible and accessible from public \
internet (it's behind NAT and quite restrictive FW that are beyond companies \
control). I could setup pop servis there but they couldn't connect to it from \
outside.  Only solution I see right now is try to convince them to run small mail \
server at one of smaller site and buy internet connection without any limitations. \
And other sites would pull mails from it.
