Let's see if I've got this straight. You've got:
mail.mysite.org (your qmail box)
mailhost.hq.net (the relay to the rest of the world)
pcN.mysite.org (systems with local mail users)
And you want mail routed like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> remote to "user" on pcN.mysite.org
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> local "user" on mailhost.hq.net
user@*.mysite.org -> local "user" on mailhost.hq.net
user@anywhere_else -> relay through mailhost.hq.net
OK, in control/smtproutes:
pc1.mysite.org:
pc2.mysite.org:
pc3.mysite.org:
:mailhost.hq.net
In control/locals:
mail.mysite.org
mysite.org
foo.mysite.org
bar.mysite.org (e.g., all the mysite.org hosts you want to
handle locally)
In control/rcphosts:
pc1.mysite.org
pc2.mysite.org
pc3.mysite.org
(plus contents of control/locals)
Then restart qmail and test.
