I support a medium-size academic environment that does this (a couple
thousand users).
I solved it by adding aliases to each remote server and having Exchange
send out copies to those aliases.
Seems stupid to me, but it's what the client wanted.

I am sorry, but I fail to see the need or reason for having the same
e-mail
address on multiple different servers. That in itself is problematic.
