If your public address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], then all of them need to have an MX record pointing to that IP. At this point, the DNS and BIND book from O'Reilly is to be recommended. For example, sub.subdomain.example.com 86400 IN MX 10 mx1 mx1 86400 IN A 192.0.20.1 Then setup your mailserver on the box. I believe you could just hire someone from the Delhi LUG to get all that work done, if you want a consultant for that (If you are new, it might be a lot easier to hire a consultant and save your time).
