Okay,  but the addys are definitely in AD; they may not be "federated"
with the AD domain, but they are properties of each user.

Good idea. :)

OK.

OK.

Stop. You can't route local domains off-box, by definition. The domain
you  use in HOSTS (or in DNS), the same domain you'll use in the alias
targets, can't be the same as an IMail local domain.

> Then I ran exchange2alias like so:

> cscript exchange2aliases.vbs storeforward.mydomain.com

You  have  to use a last argument--the 'Exchange SMTP target domain in
IMail aliases'--that is a domain which is both routed off-box by IMail
_and_ accepted (via recipient policy) by Exchange.

I  use exchange.broadleaf.local as an example of such an internal-only
routing  domain.  You can use anything you want. If you already have a
recipient  policy  for  your AD domain, but (as you stated) this isn't
really an active SMTP domain, this would be a fine choice.
