If you take the flat file approach, you could put in a manual route with
conditions on it.
Flat file looking like:
user1
user2
user4
Then in routers use something like this. Keep in mind that the order of
routers is very important - this is in fact the key to how this works.
In my setup, this would go after the alias routing but before any local
deliveries.
otherserver:
driver = manualroute
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = lsearch;/path/to/flat/file/above
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * IP.OF.OTHER.SERVER
[ .. other routers .. ]
localuser:
.. your normal localuser type thing
You can replace the lsearch/flatfile with pretty much any query method
you can think of.
This is will route all message destined for the other server to that
server and any that didn't match would fall through to the remaining
routers.
