This may not be a desirable fix, but if you setup a second server, create it
with a different host name....
so bay for example... create the host name region.yourdomain.com (I live in
BC)... point it to the IP of your new server.....
The only downside is that say I had setup the hostname bc.domain.com... then
to keep it separate, the users addresses would need to be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Just a suggestion..... it would work, but it will be a matter of if you want
to do it this way.

I don't think you can do this as long as all users are part of the same
domain

Even with this, all mail for the domain will follow the same path, there's
no way to seperate them by groups of users
