Benson,
>> You can do it in Exim, though, but it would be more manual: if you give
both Exim instances a list of local parts in one of the locations (probably
China, for you) and deliver to that location when the local part is in that
(probably a lookup against a file), then go to the forward/accept router to
send mail to the other location. The domain being the same just means that
you have to do a bit more work to find where to deliver mail.
You mean i create an flat file which holds all china user names and made
appropriate changes in exim.conf on US primary exim server which will looks
for $local_part in file from router configuration and if found relay that
email to china and will land there in china user mailbox and if $local_part
not found in file than it will go to next router and deliever it locally
means if user not found in file list than that email is for US user.
*I thought it is nice which i can give a try.If is there any documentation,
howto or any article available to do this than please point.*

Question i had in mind through this i need to create china user mailboxes
on china only on mail1.example.com and US user mailboxes on US only
mail.example.com right ? And through this domain will be the same for all
users including US / China i.e. @example.com ?
If that was successfull i think i need to maintain china users file list in
china exim server also and will same way so when anyone sends an email from
china it will look into file that this email is for local china user if
yes, than deliever locally and if it is for US user than relay it to
mail.example.com in US.
i will add one more condition in send_to_gateway router in china that
whenever china user sends an email locally to it colleague (china user) it
will not relay email directly to mail.example.com in US instead first check
if user mailbox exists locally than deliver otherwise that email is for US
user usa-user@??? now relay it to US via route_list or route_data.
Is that correct ?
*send_to_gateway:
driver = manualroute
condition = ${if eq {${lc:$sender_address_domain}} {example.com} {true} fail }
domains = example.com
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
route_list = * example.com
host_find_failed = defer*
I appreciate your help in this regard.
