In general if you are doing routing in a system filter you are doing
something wrong (same as for doing routing in the rewrite rules).
The best way of doing this depends on how you have the the list of those
that have left - ie is it something like an LDAP directory attribute, or
a list of leavers, or a manual list.
If you have a manual list then you could use a normal alias file
configuration and make the aliases look something like this:-
jbloggs: :fail: J Bloggs no longer works here.\
His business functions are now handled by fred@domain
Or you could have a router which takes a file with a list of leavers:-
leavers:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
condition = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
data = :fail: $local_part no longer works here
Use :blackhole: in place of :fail: if you really want to silently
discard mail - however this is pretty silly in normal circumstances.
