i would suggest the smtproutes file with the following content:
domain-a.xyz:ip.of.exchange.box
domain-b.xyz:ip.of.exchange.box
if you want to let your ISP's mailserver relay your outgoing
mail, the last line of your smtproutes should be
:smtp.ofyour.isp
this results in a mail hub that will happily forward any mail
to your internal m$ exchange server. don't forget to put the
domains into rcpthosts and to set up tcp.smtp properly.
you really do not want to be an open relay - do you?
hope that helps
;) alexander
