Hi

That sounds like it would work, many thanks.

Hi

I use Mercury in a windows environment and I have one user who has the same domain name in his eMail address but does not get his mail from the eMail server because he`s a laptop user. He connects directly to the eMail providers server (the same one the server connects to).  

The problem is that if any other user sends him a mail the error "User not know at this site" appears? It sounds to me like because the local domain is set it wants to treat him as local no matter what.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks

This is a bit vague: Do you have a public eMailserver (like and ISP) and a local Mercury install?

If so we need to know more about your domain setup and how you transmit emails between the two systems.

A single domain cannot be supported by two separate servers and that is what you are trying to do.  Either you make this user local to the system and then he would pop the mail from this system or you change the domain name of the Mercury/32 system and alias all of the local users to the new local domain.  For example if your domain is example.com you would use the domain name local.example.com instead of example.com.  All the local users localuser@example.com would be aliased to localuser@local.example.co.  Now mail sent to localuser@example.comwill be delivered locally and mail to nonlocal@example.com would be sent to the mail mail server supporting example.com.
