Thanks Lin What I understand from the solution you provided is that all my email addresses gets changed with the addition of alias domain in it. This is not my requirement, we cannot change email addresses, what I need is
"How can I send mail for unrecognised local users to ISP?" OR if someone can tell me how can I put a forward for a user in vpopmail like SMTP:<receipient>@<server address> e.g. I create a forward account for [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a forward like SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@smtp.mydomain.com so that if [EMAIL PROTECTED] send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then this mail should get on the internet @ smtp.mydomain.com where there is a pop account for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also I m not using mysql at all.

I wrote a patch (or quick hack) to do this and have been running this setup in production for more than four months without any problem. The patch for 5.4.3 is located at http://www.sigrity.com/oss/vdelivermail.c.patch-5.4.3 and more patches can be generated if requested. If more people are interested in this, we could propose a mailhost field just like in qmail-ldap to make it cleaner. Here is the brief setup instruction: For two mail servers (can be more) mail1.x.com and mail2.a.com. Any of mail servers can be MX hosts. 1] Setup vpopmail on both mail servers to host x.com as usual. 2] Add mail1.x.com as an alias to x.com domain on mail1.x.com and add mail1.x.com to VPOPMAILHOME/etc/locals 3] Add mail2.x.com as an alias to x.com domain on mail2.x.com and add mail2.x.com to VPOPMAILHOME/etc/locals 4] Set user fullname to Full [EMAIL PROTECTED] for email accounts on mail1.x.com 5] Set user fullname to Full [EMAIL PROTECTED] for email accounts on mail2.x.com All emails are routed according the setting in the fullname field and using SMTP (not like qmail-ldap). The vpopmail db needs to be synchronized between sites so mysql backend is preferred but cdb should work too.

So you need it to go to the other server. It seems like this was discussed on the mailling list in the last week or so. It's not simple, so I suggest reading the archives. Look for the discussion about splitting users across multiple servers.
