So you want to do two different things.

1. Rewriting is controlled by the rewrite portion of the configuration
(chapter 32).

2. Routing is controlled by directors and routers. You can send an
address to a new domain without actually rewriting it in the message.

If you just want to do the delivery, without actually rewriting any
addresses in the message, set up a domainlist router. It can use that
file.

reroute:
driver = domainlist
route_file = /that/file

If you want to rewrite, check out chapter 32.
