From: "Tushar Burman" tb@freeos.com with any specific forwarding instructions for mail. It is exactly as i explained - user@foo.com /is/ user@bar.com. And yes, user@foo.com (or @bar.com) is a POP account for each user. However, it need not be this way. user@bar.com may well be an alias to multidrop@bar.com, which would really be multidrop@foo.com so you don't need separate POPs for each user.

O.k. i got a solution. Pop accounts can receive mail abc@foo.com as well as abc@mail.foo.com so whenever i send a mail to xyz@foo.com which is not a local user, it searches for the .qmail-default entries which forwards it as xyz@mail.foo.com

Since i was having some problem sening it out to the net directly, i used an smtp server in my smtproutes file which did the needful.

As the pop account recognises xyz@mail.foo.com i do not have to create another domain / sub domain or pop accounts/ aliases or forward it or anything else.

Thanx for everyhting.

Noel.
