Now the magic line for me was localdomains dineshmills.com, it is my > local domain.

Problem with defining "yourdomain" as local is that if you have any users outside the current server (say another office in another city) you cannot send them mail as the server setup as defined will always take any mail for "youdomain" as local. We have tried to over come this by defining local domain as non-FQD and thus we are able to send messages to our other offices. Flip side is that if a local user sends mail to another local user with "youdomain" address instead of "localdomain" address the mail goes to internet server and then is picked up for local delivery by fetchmail in the next cycle. Any comments of how to make this system more efficient so that local users always get their mail delivered locally?
