As far as I understand it, this router uses remote_smtp only for domains
that are not listed as local_domains. The problem is that someone logs
in to our configuration system and sets up a domain. They use their
email address at that domain as their contact address.

They never get our welcome email and we lose a customer, often having to
refund a CC payment or accept a chargeback.

If I comment out (or remove) the line beginning "domains" then it'll use
remote_smtp for all email addresses, but cause too many mail-loop
considerations.

I don't think what we'd like is possible, but we can achieve similar
effect by sending out welcome emails using a different server, which
would get the old MX address from public DNS.
