I have a similar setup with qmail on a linux server and a 192.168.x.x domain
using WinNT clients and reaching the ISP via a dialup. I use an unegistered
domain for the local network but in the MUAs have a valid email account,
with the ISP, set for email address and reply address. Since qmail basically
is relaying, any outbound mail goes out with the headers addressed by the
MUAs.
I created a virtualdomain(s) (to handle any bounces) pointing to the local
account(s). And in each users $HOME/.bash_profile I have QMAILSUSER,
QMAILSHOST, and QMAILINJECT=f set for any mail sent via a shell or X
session. For local mail we don't care what domain shows up since we know
each others username.
We use fetchmail for retreval from ISP(s) and pipe it to qmail-inject for
local delivery. The whole setup works quite smoothly. Since there are
actually four seperate registerd ISP email accounts it's slighty more
complicated but since your using network clients the idea is the same. The
only problem we had was that qmail doesn't use hosts so I had to install
BIND.
Hope this helps.
