Hi!,
I would like to set up a linux based mail servers (multiple) server per remote location so it would not choke the wan link any clues in this direction which would be easiest setup for this ?? i.e. if a remote user@remote.comp.com sends email to user2@remote.comp.com is should not be routed through comp.com but the local remote server should route it. what would be the network structure domainwise how should I assign names ?? and dns setup ??
Please share your knowledge
Thanks and Regards,
Hiten.

I don't see a reason why mail from user@remote.comp.com to user2@remote.comp.com should route via (a mail server at) comp.com.
If you are using qmail, the ~/locals, ~/me & ~/rcpthosts file with 'remote.comp.com' at that location will deliver local mails locally & remote mails via smtp...I don't see a problem..or am I missing something?

[snip] A single mail server with drop boxes for all the users on the n/w located centrally with a dedicated connection to the internet.
Other local mail servers grab mail i.e upload/download mail via available POTS/dial-up links. Thus u have a simple....scalable....cheap solution.

I know that should not create problems but I am not sure what should I put into dns entries I think there in not any requirement for dedicated net connection at all places so the problem is when user@remote.comp.com sends email to anyone@yahoo.com the problem is how would that be sent one way to do that would be NAT but that would not be proper soln. is there anything which can be setup at sendmail level, if so how ?? any good howtos ?? links ??
Thanks,

[snip] Ofcourse our dear friend, therz no need for a dedicated net connection at all place. Can u pls refer to my prev mail 2.
so the problem is when user@remote.comp.com sends email to anyone@yahoo.com the problem is how would that be sent one way to do that would be NAT but that would not be proper soln.
[snip] oh gawd....;) Pls, RTFM. U have lot of DOCs to read. NAT figures nowhere in the picture. Why would u hav to NAT emails over to the internet. Wat u only need is a a local mail server with a single central local mail server connected to the net 24x7x365
is there anything which can be setup at sendmail level, if so how ?? any good howtos ?? links ??
[snip] Hmm....for the stuff that u have mentioned, my kind suggestion would b to get some professional help. Considering the magnitude of the email solution i think itz wise to do it a professional way.
There r a lot many gnu-linux/ s/w dudes on this ML who will b willing to help u out PROFESIONALLY.
I have no right undermining ny1 here.....but my observation stands as above.

Hiten,
I guess we (atleast I) are not understanding your problem properly. Atleast, I don't see where the problem lies, and think the solution is pretty straightforward.
My suggestion is you give some more details. Where is comp.com? What is the network like? Do you want mails from user@remote.comp.com to go as user@comp.com? I guess you really need to give some more details here.

Mailertables routing the mail through uucp or VSAT lines should do the trick.
The rest of that - give each subdomain its own MX record.
Have each subdomain know aliases in all other subdomains (say using LDAP or MySQL to store your userdb and broadcast it)
