Hi!

DIfferent ways to do this:

I assume that the domain example.com is already added to
/etc/mail/local-host-names.

Then, depending on your preferences, whether use the virtusertable:

@example.com    %1@[172.16.0.1]

or the mailertable, which should be the better approach to your setup:

.example.com                 smtp:[172.16.0.1]
