Anyway I will now have to do that. So those warning mails which are supposed to be
delivered to the local box now will go to rajesh at goatelecom.com and come
back again. It would have been a nice feature for people like me to specify
two email id's as postmaster :

1. for Local postmaster.
   ( The From: address here will be postmaster at debian.home in my case )
2. for Outgoing warning sent to the actual sender of virus.
   ( The From: address here will be rajesh at goatelecom.com in my case ).

Thus in case one mails won't go to the isp server and come back. Say If I
receive around 20 such mails with viruses than all those warning mails
which are suppossed to go to local box will go to rajesh at goatelecom.com.
However the second case will work without problem.

Thanks a lot for all the help.

Peace
