First of all...
Rewriting at transport time is still what we'd like to have ;-) !!!
(I guess I'm speaking for some more people as there was a thread before)
Ok, what Marc was thinking of, is to have a local domain foo.de
and to have a list of addresses that are supposed to be delivered
localy also - altough they do not belong to foo.de. (like x@???)
(Am I right, Marc?)
So if anyone writes a local mail to x@??? it will be delivered
localy. If anyone writes to y@??? it will be delivered NOT
localy! So we would have the same addresses localy and outside.

Yes, that's ok for the one way...
a local mail to x@??? will be rewritten to x@???.
And will arrive! Good!
But there are 2 other things to think about...
1. x@??? writes a (local) mail to y@???
y@??? (y is in the file) and will be rewritten to y@???
now we have mail from x@??? to y@???
The Reply-To field (x@???) is ok.
2. x@??? writes a mail to z@???
z@??? (z is not in the file) and will be NOT be rewritten
now we have a mail from x@??? to z@??? (no local delivery)
this mail will leave the intranet and the
Reply-To field will become invalid(!) because there's
NO domain named foo.de in the outside net!!!
So I guess the only sollution might be taking ALL the providers domains
as local domains and always rewrite *@foo.de to *@theguysprovider.com.
So you would always have a valid Reply-To field and local mail
will be delivered locally!
Maybe something like...
(I'm not into this file accessing thing)
local_domains = "foo.de:gmx.net:provider.com"
*@foo.de ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/users/at/$domain}{$value}fail}
With a file /users/at/foo.de like...
x:acount1@???
y:acount2@???
But I don't think that's a nice sollution!
So we are back to the transport rewriting ;-)
