How does your /etc/network/interfaces look like, by now? Most likely
you want to use virtual interfaces for this, more or less this way:

ifconfig eth0:0 <ip> netmask <mask> up

Tough question because there is a bunch of ways how to do this. Basic
idea is that mail is delivered locally to <user>@... in case <user> is,
well, some sort of locally known user account (be that one
in /etc/passwd, connected via LDAP / NIS / winbind / whatever, ...) and
discarded otherwise. In this setup, you make use of /etc/aliases to
deliver mails to some user depending on their recipient address. In
this setup, you can make use of procmail (as _user_) to process mail
_before_ it hits your local mailbox but _after_ the MTA has made a
decision which user to deliver the mail to. 

If using fetchmail+procmail, i.e. on a dialup system, you can go for a
setup relying upon fetchmail to pull mail from some POP3 server and
make it directly deliver incoming mail to mail folders using procmail.
But I'm not sure whether this is a good idea or even what you want to
do.


What exactly does your e-mail system setup look like, by now?

Cheers,
Kris
