BOX A has a LOCAL mail server configured and
consider users as LOCAL.

Already there is a www record on BOX A so why
there is a www record on BOX B.

There is no Mail Server configured on this BOX B.
User-Unknown is returned from your BOX A as it
has the mail server "mail.agrihort.com.au" and as the
user is not there it will send you user unknow.
Check the header of the message.

OK some questions:

1. What is the IP address of BOX B.
2. Is Box A on the Net and B is on the local lan?
3. Do you want to fwd emails from BOX A to B?
