Off the top of my head:
You set up a transport as follows:
smart_host:
driver = smtp;
hosts = smart.host1:smart.host2:... etc
That will send any message passed to it to the first host on the list
that it can get to.
You set up your smartuser director, last in the list, like this
unknown_user:
driver = smartuser,
transport = smart_host;
That should be all you need.
