You need to setup a router (director in exim 3) that uses the new
server as a smart host. Something like the following (exim 4 syntax):

smart_route:
driver = manualroute
domains = !+local_domans
route_data = new.server.name
transport = remote_smtp

You will need to put this router quite near the top of the routers
section so that it gets run before other routers that would handle
the mail. If you want this router to run unconditionally, remove
the the domains line, but beware of the consequences of doing so.
