Yes, Phil got me right. However, creating an alias domain name is not a very solution, because users are non-IT knowledge. it will be a mass asking them to change their email address, and might get fired :D
Yes, that's what I'm trying to achieve. However, Mark Burlingame gave a very good suggestion where by I might be able to send the emails from Site A server to Site B server with an internal DNS Server. Since both sites are connected via VPN, maybe this is a good hint. But, any input on how to get this done??

I think what he is asking is he has 2 locations and as an example, use 2 users, Fred and Mary. Fred works in location 1 and Mary is in location 2. He only has one domain for mail: abc.com.my He wants Fred to check his pop account in his local server and wants Mary to check on the pop server in her location. He's asking if there is a way to have all mail come into server 1 but since Mary's account isn't in there, to send it off to server 2. A couple ways to do this could be to: -- Make subdomains like location1.abc.com.my and location2.abc.com.my but this would change the email addresses to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- On the server in location 1, ALL mail comes in. Fred's drops into his box because it's local but Mary has an account in the local BUT there is a Forward to server rule on her account that would send it off to the other server. I'm not sure where the setting is for the forward but I'm pretty sure I stumbled on it somewhere. Hopefully this helps get a bit closer to the answer.
