[techtalk] pine and virtual domains

[Nicole Zimmerman]

That doesn't sound like a pine problem, it sounds like a mail server
problem.

Whatever mail server you are using (sendmail, exim, etc) ALSO has to know
about the virtual domains. 

I have several virtual domains on one box and we are able to send mail
seamlessly locally and remotely to all of the @virtual.dom.ain addresses.
I had to tell exim that we deliver mail for all of these addresses and
then set up the MX for all of those addresses to point to the original
domain.
