If you take the flat file approach, you could put in a manual route with conditions on it. Flat file looking like: user1 user2 user4 Then in routers use something like this. Keep in mind that the order of routers is very important - this is in fact the key to how this works. In my setup, this would go after the alias routing but before any local deliveries. otherserver: driver = manualroute domains = +local_domains local_parts = lsearch;/path/to/flat/file/above transport = remote_smtp route_list = * IP.OF.OTHER.SERVER [ .. other routers .. ] localuser: .. your normal localuser type thing You can replace the lsearch/flatfile with pretty much any query method you can think of. This is will route all message destined for the other server to that server and any that didn't match would fall through to the remaining routers.
