Vaibhav ... for internal office mails, create a subdomain
intranet.yourdomain.com and add it to your hosts file locally. No need to
advertise an MX / A record or other DNS for it. When sending interoffice
mail, just send mail from user1@intranet to user2@intranet
Or else ... forget all that, I see your point on reading para 2.

Set up a procmail recipe :

{
:0c
|/usr/sbin/sendmail -bm -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0
$USER_MAILDIR
}
This way, you can forward a copy to the guy's yahoo account, and retain a
copy in his maildir as well.
Or better still, install a simple webmail product on your external server,
on a secured port - http://webmail.yourcompany.com:something and comment
out the guy's fetchmail entry. Lots of these at
