Because once a message is routed, it sticks with the assigned transport.
That is why its not falling through. However, you can easily get
what you want. Change your routers to:
smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
condition = ${if > {$message_age}{900}{yes}{no}} <<<<< Insert this
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smarthost.myothersite.org
# shouldn't ever use dnslookup unless smarthost fails
dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
The condition on your first router will only operate if the age
of the message is 15 minutes or younger. If it is unable to
deliver within 15 minutes, the router will be skipped and will
attempt direct delivery.
You could change the 15 minutes to something else if you wanted.
