Maybe you could start by having a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default-file which
will forward all unknown users to your Exchange-Server. Don't have the
syntax, but fiddle around condredirect.

So, why don't you just create a text-file and make this a batch-job. If you
setup a .qmail and Mailbox-file in your /etc/skel I guess this would be a
job of half an hour, assuming you have the text-file.

Maybe by putting
somedomain.com into rcpthosts,
somedomain.com:exchange-server.somedomain.com into smtproutes and
having the Exchange-Server as main-MX-entry in your DNS.

My advice would be not to mix. Just smtproute your mails to exchange until
you have set up all accounts on the unix-box.
