Nope. mycompany.com is not local. It is remote on the web hosting server.
ho.mycompany.com is local.

Why the mails have to go to www.mycompany.com, if they are sent from here
i.e. ho.mycompany.com. Finally they are going to come back, because we are
fetching from www.mycompany.com.

Only when the concerned person is not there in the company than only these
mails which are by mistake sent by some users to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should
go to the mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yeh. I had gone through the virtual-hosting page on sendmail.org They have
given a similar example there.
