You can use a domainlist router with exim3.

#main configuration:
RELAYDOMAINS = foo.org:bar.org

relay_domains = RELAYDOMAINS
...
#router

route_myroute:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "RELAYDOMAINS our.host.name bydns_a"


Another possibility would be to use a backport of exim4 for woody
http://pkg-exim4.alioth.debian.org/ (ignoring the debconf system and
just installing your existing configuration as /etc/exim4/exim4.conf).
