This will accomplish what you are trying todo. The "forward" will be transparent to the user.
You only use the forward to get the email on the correct server. If I read all correctly this will give you exactly what you want/need - per user option where the email will go (user on site A will be normal user, user on site B will be forward user ) - no overhead on the vpn link Just try it out I would say.. Am sure it will make your day..

And example: Their email address to the world would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] si I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It enters the server for that MX record which is server1. She has an account there but it’s not her’s. She picks up from server2. So her account on server1 has a forward set to forward all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If your dns is setup correctly with server2 address, then this “Should” work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Gabriel Lai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2007 8:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server hi, i'm not sure how can I configure this to get tis works... any clues?

I knew that subdomain/alias domains can do this job, but asking the users change the email addresses to subdomain might be a critical mass. I think copy the certain folders to Site B server would be much more effective, but I worry that the emails might be too large, and might hang the VPN tunneling... anyone have done this before??

That's exactly what I wanted. I'm not sure if Merak will do hostname (easy to test) but it certainly will do alias domains. Thanks LOADS!!! Gabriel, does this help you? I think I have enough info to be able to get you on the right direction.
