  With restructing here I've had a similar thing to do. I had to change
everyone with XXX@mpce.mq.edu.au to XXX@ics.mq.edu.au. The following
worked for me.

ldapsearch -D admin_dn -w admin_passwd "(mail=*mpce.mq.edu.au)" mail |
sed "s/mpce.mq.edu.au/ics.mq.edu.au/" | ldapmodify -D admin_dn -w
admin_passwd -r
