Hi,
Here I have used yahoo.com domain but it can be any domain lets say domain.com. My network is not connected to Internet. Still do you think that the following will not work if
guru.com exists and domain.com does not exists physically.

I do not think so. At least I do not believe you own yahoo.com domain,
it means you can not set up your server1.guru.com as mailserver for
yahoo.com domain and redirect all yahoo.com mail to your server.
Please, understand, that virtsertable concept is a way of hosting
multiple mail-domains, but you need full control of that domains.
Or do you really believe that if you have:
@yahoo.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it means you can "steal" all mail sent to all yahoo.com accounts?
No offense, but you do not mean it seriously, do you? :-)
You can only *redirect* your mail in yahoo.com, but only on your
own accounts, and only if yahoo.com supports it. Or you can collect
your mail from yahoo.com through pop3/imap protocols at regular
intervals (again, only if yahoo.com supports it).
virtusertable covers local delivering, but *not sending*.
When your MTA (sendmail) gets a mail message for [EMAIL PROTECTED],
it asks nameserver authorised for yahoo.com for corresponding
mail-server for deliveries, and *no matter* what you have in
virtusertable. But as I said, very probably you do not own yahoo.com
domain, so you can not define your server as mailserver for yahoo.com.
But, this all is possible to do for your own domain, guru.com,
if you really have full control of it. I think maybe it's the right
time to read something more about sendmail and bind, or some RFC
about how email works...
