How to move the mailbox location of the particular users

Hi friends,
Do you know how to move the mailbox location for the particular users to some other location. Fir example i'm having two group of users called groupa and groupb. The mails for groupa will drop at the same location where the mailserver is running and for group-b mails should drop at some other location.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot...

Here is my main.cf parameter

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = ldap:aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mydomain = panafnet.com
myhostname = DIDEL_TCILS_MAIL01.panafnet.com
mynetworks = 192.168.117.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = no
relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost = $mydomain
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_gid_maps = static:102
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/mail
virtual_mailbox_limit = 100000000
virtual_mailbox_limit_inbox = yes
virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vquota
virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes
virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:accounts
virtual_maildir_limit_message = "Your Mailbox is Full"
virtual_minimum_uid = 102
virtual_transport = virtual
virtual_uid_maps = static:102

do you refer to a different server, or a different directory?
If it is a different directory, I do not think you can do that, without some procmail magic :-)

Hello Friend,
As I have told you the mail box of the group-b users will be different "server". The incomin mail for that group-b should route to that mailserver at diffrent location.

Sorry, it was not 100% clear to me, and I have been mistaken with a similar request in the past (but the other way around).

You probably want to look at virtual users. This allows you to forward mail for certain users to another server.
You do have to add each user for the other server to this file, but once done, it will work fine.

Let me know if you require further information.... but there are plenty of documents on virtual users.. and this should point you in the right direction
