The genericstable entry is working from your local machine because there
is an entry there for your local user as a "bare" user. I suspect that
b_user's Outlook settings will have a domain name attached to them and
hence will not match the genericstable entry. What log entries do you
get in /var/log/maillog when b_user sends mail from Outlook?

Your right the log shows the domain that user is from, that is his ISP at
home.

[123.123.123.123] nmsgs=23/23

I have edited the above log entry for privacy.

Now how do I handle that?
Thanks.
