This could be done by extending the control modifier, e.g.

deny
message = User not local; please try <foo@???>
control = redirect

but then you could also do it more generaly, e.g. "reject control =
code=551"


The (IMHO) better way would be to extend the redirect router, i.e.
instead of ":fail: user moved away" there would be ":redirect: try
user@???". Is the forward file used during recipient verify?
This would be necessary, but I'm not sure about that right now.

Another question: Which MTAs handle 551 and send to the new address?
