Hi Thanks a lot so far ............. but i am still confused. I was always routing the mails on individual user basis.
/etc/hosts 192.168.115.100 mail.telesindia.com so local users [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] if a mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , it comes to local user [EMAIL PROTECTED] because i have mentioned in local-host-names ( teles.com ) so all the mails to teles.com comes internally and further ---> through virtusertable [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] but mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gives invalid user By mentioning in local-host-names localhost teles.com All the mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , comes internally. this MTA is responsible for all mails with domain teles.com So even if i change the domain name to "mail.teles.com" how does it help. But could u explain the solution u sent in a bit more detail . Thanks.
