I looks like my mailscanner is only accepting mail locally (for the linux computer).  I want it to accept any mail then scan and forward to my real mail server (windows) but when I telnet and give it an address that is not a user on a linux machine it will not accept it. For instatnce I have root and JD as a user on my linux box, in which case it accepts mail fine and dumps it in var/spool. but when I rcpt to: anything other than a user found on the linux box it gives me an invalid user. Which configuration am I missing in order to get it to accept mail for my whole domain scan then send it over to my windows mailserver?
