My solution is somewhat similar, but takes care of multiple MXes for the subdomain. Assuming foo.com has MX mx1.foo.com, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] wants to check his email on bar.foo.com: On mx1.foo.com, I use the MTA's forwarding/aliasing facility to forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In DNS for foo.com, I have a.foo.com IN MX bar.foo.com (you can have multiple MXes for a.foo.com). On bar.foo.com, a.foo.com is configured as a local domain. On mx1.foo.com, foo.com is a local domain (as expected - since MTAs won't touch aliases DB for emails that are not meant for local domains). Simple solution to fix the problem. Only issue is to maintain the account info for every user on bar.foo.com at two places. But with my favourite Courier, I can do this one also easily (as Courier can take mail aliases also from an LDAP backend). Note that both mx1.foo.com and bar.foo.com need permanent Internet connections. Firewall bar.foo.com to accept SMTP connections only from mx1.foo.com (use the MTA itself or tcpwrappers if supported).
