Ok, I'll give this a try.
The killer of this, is that my customer is running exchange behind a
firewall. My mail servers are the only hosts allowed to connect through on
port 25. The real kicker is that this customer has 50+ domains, and if
anyone has ever worked with exchange, you know it's not fun mapping out
several hundred users to even a few domains, let alone 50+.

** Yes:

**
** # tell qmail where to find it
** echo domain:alias-domain >> /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts

** Of course you can avoid all this if the remote server is configured
