I've just moved to a new company, they have a main mail server in the UK 
and another in Australia, I believe the Aus' server receives emails for 
the Aus' employees from the main server here in the uk.

One of our Aus' employees recently moved here, so they changed the alias 
file on the Aus server to redirect any email to his new uk account 
([EMAIL PROTECTED], instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]), now though whether he 
receives emails to his .com or .com.au accounts it appears the Aus' 
server is getting involved since the time on the email is an Aus' one.

How do I go about tracing where his emails are going?  At the last place 
I worked if I typed 'exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]' it would check through 
the aliases until it found where the mail actually gets delivered to, 
here though it seems that as long as the domain is valid and one of our 
local domains it just says its deliverable:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] johnc]# /usr/exim/bin/exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   router = spamcheck_router, transport = spamcheck

this is deliverable but I'd have expected it to have resolved this to my 
exim account (j_clement) since jc is an alias for this account.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] johnc]# /usr/exim/bin/exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable:
  Unrouteable address

this does what I'd expect as does this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] johnc]# /usr/exim/bin/exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  router = lookuphost, transport = remote_smtp
  host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com      [64.233.183.27]  MX=5
  host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com      [64.233.183.114] MX=5
  host alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [72.14.205.27]   MX=10
  host alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [64.233.167.27]  MX=10
  host alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [64.233.167.114] MX=10
  host gsmtp163.google.com             [64.233.163.27]  MX=50

My only thought is that there's somewhere on this main mail server that 
says if its a certain list of users (all Aus employees) then forward the 
mails on, but I can't find any file anywhere that has such a list..

Thanks - john
