Hello,

I want to know how to setup a mail system in intranet.

for example, I have two computer named A and B. A have two accounts:
a1 and a2. B also have two accounts: b1 and b2. How to setup a
mailsystem support mail from A or B and mail to a1@A, a2@A, b1@B, b2@B.

my Linux System is Debian and the default mail server is exim.

PS: I have read "The Linux Electronic Mail Administrator HOWTO" and did
not find information to solve this problem.

What is the problem? Does your intranet have a name server setup? Do
you have zone for A and a zone for B defined so that A and B point to an
IP address? Or does computer A know of computer B and vice versa
(/etc/hosts file)?
Did you configure each system to be able to handle email sent to the
local (a1 and a2 for A and b1 and b2 for B) users??

Have you looked at the configuration options as well as the
documentation for exim? http://www.exim.org/
