Ok, you have a bit of a problem here.
What is the problem? qmail has separate local and remote queues.
In the situation where mail got into the remote queue when it should be in
the local queue, you just put an smtproute to localhost.
This problem is a bit more complicated tho.
My suggestion: use virtualdomains to deliver _all_ mail (for that domain
anyway) to a maildir, and then deliver this via serial[sq]mtp to your
primary MX.
