That is, xyz.com or diffsoft.com is to be treated as local by the server
On your local machine at least - that should work - assuming all the users on
diffsoft.com are defined as local users on that machine (using useradd - if
you dont want them to have shell access give them a bogus shell like
/bin/false)

Heard of MX records? And you dont want to touch external dns for this - if
you are running a local dns server, create an mx record for this if need be.
It won't affect traffic to your website.
In fact you dont need dns if your users use the dialup gateway for pop and
smtp purposes as well. In my office we separate the pop and smtp servers, so
we just use a mailertable on the smtp server, to redirect mail for domain.com
to the pop server, instead of going all the way through the internet and
back.
Read what I wrote below again please ... ask if you have any specific
questions.
