Topic: local host VS head office

[wawan]

Hi all,
mycompany.com has been registered to my head office at singapore.
in our branch in Indonesia, we have one SME server with local name: mylocal.com
we use our return email address as myname@mycompany.com and set on head office mail server to send any email for me to myaddress@mylocal.com.
is it possible to set the local SME server to be mycompany.com?
the targets are:
- when we do reply to local sender, it will only go to local SME server, not walking around trough internet line. It will be much faster.
- if the account does not exist on local SME server, it must go to head office server to find the account.
- any reply from outside (not from local accounts) will go to our head office mail server.
Is it possible? If so, please be so kind to share with me.

Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Rockin' regards,
Wawan

We do this by giving each site a sub-domain address, giving all users sub-domain email addresses, then setting up forwarding rules for all users on the system at headquarters.

So,

joe@hq.mycompany.com

mary@singapore.mycompany.com

joe@mycompany.com ==> joe@hq.mycompany.com
mary@mycompany.com ==> mary@singapore.mycompany.com

Definitely not the perfect solution to your problem - email sent directly to "mary@singapore.mycompany.com" never goes through the hq server; emal from mary to david (also in singapore) either goes to hq & back or not - depending on exactly how she types david's address...
