make a router with something like 'hosts = 127.0.0.1' and stick it
before the router that handles list traffic.

But it sounds like your problem should be handled differently. If I
interpolate correctly, you have Server A with domain A.com, Then you
also have server B which runs the mailing list for A.com, and Server
A routes list traffic to Server B? Usually, Server B would handle
lists.A.com or something like that. Much easier routing. If you need
it like this (and your setup is as I think it is), you could do it
the other way around: have regular routing except for e-mails
matching a domainlist of domains and being received from Server A.
