... but rewriting shouldn't really be used as a means of routing mail.
You can solve your problem by abandoning rewriting and using a
domainlist router:

route_manually:
driver = domainlist
route_list = somedomain.com otherdomain.com

If you have lots of these, you can put the routing information in a
file. Check TFM.

There is one difference between this and doing a rewrite. If you rewrite
(with only the T flag), the receiving host will see

RCPT TO:<user@???>

whereas if you route using a domainlist router, it will see

RCPT TO:<user@???>
