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.
