I'm under the impression that the router routes email address like IP
routers route IP packets. They look at all (inbound, and outbound) email,
but they only look at the destination ("To:" and the carbon copies) address
when performing routing logic.
It does not appear to look at the source address when making a routing
decision.
Routing email based on the source address would be a little strange,
(imagine trying to swap secondary MX with someone else) much in the same
way that turning on source address verification on a Cisco router ( ip
verify unicast reverse-path) down inside the core of a meshed network can
be a bad thing.
