Hi, I havn't done this, but I might give you something to think about.
When you use sendmail on your little local lan, your users email
addresses
are user@localmachine, of which you have 5 different machines.
When you send mail out to your single mediaone account, the
user@localmachine
information is transmitted in the smtp headers. The reply-to address
would be
your single mediaone address, and all email will be returned to that
point.
When you pickup all the mail from mediaone, it is up to you to use
procmail
to redistribute the mail to the various machines on your local lan, and
then
to the users home directories.
To see what I'm talking about, have a few different users send email,
then before
you send it out with sendmail, take a close look at the smtp headers of
the
messages in /var/mqueue.
