Since we have only an ADSL line on site office if there any way I could forward the mails for these staff members to another Mail Server with dynamic IP address?

Use a dyndns service [1] to make the remote ADSL IP resolvable by name and forward directly to that, then forward port 25 in Your firewall setup at the remote site to the mailserver inside the remote intranet (guessing at Your setup here).

e.g. have Your distributing mail server's virtual-maps state something like this

user@domain	user@dyndnsdomain

NB:
After automatic disconnects of the ADSL line until Your dyndns-client updates the IP You will get timeouts in Your logs but those are temporary and should be retried anyway.

To make things look nice You can create an explicit MX record for the dyndns domain. Remember to set the remote mailserver to accept mails addressed to the dyndns domain.

Even nicer: Use TLS between the two servers, maybe even with certs.
