You cannot have the same box at two places, the first box would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the second box is [EMAIL PROTECTED], best would be to let the user only access the local server, then all outgoing mail is forwarded to the smtprelay. The incoming mail would be fetched off the central server from the local server as well as directly delivered to the local server. Xmail can handle this, maybe it will be some tweaking neccessary with aliases or s.th. like this. We have something similar, all mail for me is forwarded to my local server directly, no need for me to fetch it, but I have my own IP and my own DNS name, otherwise it would be not possible, I also send my mail with my own server.
