Repeat after me: The system filter is not for routing. Routers are for
routing.

You need a router that activates when the conditions you specified are
true, and then passes the message to a transport that does what you
want. Eg. in the routers section of your config file:

   funky_local_router:
     driver = manualroute
     domains = +local_domains
     transport = remote_smtp_alt_port
     route_list = * local.mail.server byname


and in the transports section:

   remote_smtp_alt_port
     driver = smtp
     port = 2525  # or whatever


That assumes you have a domain list called local_domains defined, of
course. Completely untested, YMMV, if it breaks you get to keep both
pieces, etc.

thx..
ok, it works (this router), but in exim's mainlog is the line deffering
sending e-mail to host listed in route_list, saying:
"remote host address is the local host" and froze the message.
of course, that smtp is running at the same host where exim is, but
on another port.

(domainlist local_domains = my.domain : my.second.domain :
my.another.domain)

when i erase local_domains, leaving only: "local_domains = "
then in mainlog i see that "lowest numberred MX record points to
localhost" and the message is frozen too.


i've added "no_verify" option to router, but it not solves the problem.
is there any router's option that stops checking host's local ?
