Thats a pretty nice approach to the problem. thanks!
btw, i do want things to go to the next router on the list ... this
router is just a fix for a mail migration -- i've got 2 servers
pretending they're the same hostname and trying to communicate with
each other.
it would be nice if entire addresses were supported in the routers -
its odd that local_parts, domains, and a host of other address data /
testing is, except for the adddress itself
