What i wanted to say is, that you can tell the router, which sends your
mail to your smart host,
to NOT do it, if X = Y or X != Y (whatever you need) on most
informations you see in your mail.
That means, you need actual 2 routers, one for the normal flow of
things, and one for the local
users. The last one is already in your example configuration.
Sends all mails to external mailserver, which are not in the
local_domains list.
virtual_user:
driver = redirect
no_verify
domains = +local_domains
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ...enter valid infos here .... i.e. /home/username/maildir
user = ...enter valid uid here ....
group = mail
check_ancestor
which will send mails to the local users maildir.
You have to decide which values are correct for yourself, as we don't
know it.
Basically all you have to do ist, the enter the domains in the
local_domains list, which should NOT be routed to externel servers i.e.
your smart relay host.
