Ah.

Well, all the hostnames must be in 'locals', both for primary and secondary
roles.  And all the domain names must be in 'esmtpacceptmailfor'.  The
server will compare itself with the MX records.
 * Where the server finds itself to be the MX at the lowest priority, it
will keep the email - you need to have a local account, or perhaps forward
it to a private internal mail server using 'smtproutes'.  Of course, if you
relay the mail using smtproutes, then the destination server will do the
user account validation.
 * Where the server finds itself to be a secondary MX, it will queue the
mail for the primary MX.

I hope this is what you needed...

Patrick.
