Gaurav,
I believe that you can specify 'mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and it
should work correctly if your mail server is setup to handle it. It very
much depends on what configuration you selected when setting up the mail
server. If you specified that you are not connected to the internet, and
that your domain name is 'mydomain.com', then your mail will be delivered
correctly. Note that in that case, you do not have to specify the domain
name.
If, on the other hand, your domain name is not 'mydomain.com' and
you are trying to send mail to a 'mydomain.com' address, then your mail
will not be delivered unless you change your mail server setup to permit
delivery of non-local mail, and connect your machine to a network /
internet.
Regards,
Kenneth
