Not sure about this but what about using aliases? So let's say that you are "relay.example.com" and you are the primary MX for "example.com" and you want to send the mail onto mail.example.com. So you would put "example.com" into locals and esmtpacceptmailfor and then create aliases like [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now you have no accounts on your system but you accept mail for example.com if there's a valid alias which will in turn ship it out to mail.example.com. As I said, I haven't thought this through really well but it seems to me that this would work.
