It isn't right. There is no "domain-list" option in the smtp transport.

That is the right way to implement "send mail for this/these domains to
that host, without changing the addresses in the envelope". That is often
called "mail hubbing" or "manual mail routing". However, you've got the
syntax wrong. You want
domain_forward:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp (or whatever your smtp transport is called)
route_list = pattern new-host byname
However, what people normally mean by "forwarding" is in fact not to do
that, but to change the address in the envelope, and then let the new
address be handled afresh. That can most conveniently be done by making
the domain a local domain, and using an aliasfile or smartuser director.
