with 192.168.15.75 being a private IP (I think it is private) and hence
*unroutable* over the larger internet. The fact that such an address
exists has to be and should be hidden by your router, i.e. the one at
the periphery of your net.
Am I confused? What I understand is this:
a) You have a machine 'A' which is on a private network.
b) A uses 'B', which has a globally, or rather universally valid IP
address, to send mails.
c) Replies come to B and should be forwarded to A.
If this is the case, and since B has to forward messages from the let us
say 'extranet' onto the 'intranet', it follows that B is wired to both
nets.
Hence, I guess (I repeat "guess") if u put an alias of:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [1]: rohit@[192.168.15.75]
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in your /etc/aliases, then it ought to work.
