I do something similar here. What I've done is to define a router called
"artificial_route" like this:
artificial_route:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_file = /some/path/smtproutes.cdb
search_type = cdb
This router is called *before* the remote_smtp router.
And then my smtproutes file looks like this:
domain1 gateway.domain1 bydns_a
domain2 gateway.domain2 bydns_a
....
domainn gateway.domainn bydns_a
where gateway.domain is the hostname of the dialup host serving domain.
when it connects, it sends ETRN #domain to dequeue the messages. I've
converted my smtproutes file to cdb, but you can use lsearch or dbm too.

Conscious is when you are aware of something and conscience is when you
