Ok, returning the favor to the community....

You SSH to your VPS2 account, and then su to root account. 

cd /etc/mail/
pico -w virtusertable

Then follow the below instructions

Just add this to your /etc/mail/virtusertable and then run "make" in

An example:

#Some domain email accounts
tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@somedomain.com    junkmail

Make sure there is no account named "junkmail" and the server will
reject all email NOT matching tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cheers,

Tim
