I don't want it to go to my smarthost, I want it to use qmail-qmqpc to send
it to my QMQP servers. If only I could specify a protocol in smtproutes...
Otherwise I could run "mini-qmail" on the same box with an smtp server
listening on port 26, and use smtproutes to redirect outgoing mail to
localhost:26. That way it would use my qmail-qmqpc to send it off to the
QMQP servers. I want to use qmail-qmqpc because I modified to load balance
between multiple servers, and I don't want to bog down my list server box
with queueing outgoing mail. It's going to be ALOT of outgoing mail...

nullmailer doesn't provide an SMTP daemon for incoming mail; it is only for
sending locally-injected mail from a dumb host to a smart relay. However,
it's excellent for that.
However, smtproutes could be used with qmail to provide this functionality,
I think. Set up /var/qmail/control/locals to handle local deliveries, and
put the single line
:smarthost.domain
into /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. This should make everything that can't
be delivered locally be forwarded to your smarthost.
Anyone care to correct me on this?
