Please confirm I should have this router, i.e., the domain
is not in the $local_domains, handle it and condition it on
the local parts with some funny lookups. I do not really
know where to start.
Is not there something that makes routers reference directors?
Anyone? All the Exchange servers know our email addresses, this
is all done, no problem at all. I just need to route everything
off my box which does not match.
