1. Start with the example base configuration, which gives you some
basic ACL machinery.

2. On all servers, include all domains (ie. Domain[A-C].com) in the
conventional domainlist local_domains. This will make the ACL machinery
pass mails addressed to these domains before relaying is checked for.

3. On the "legacy" servers replace the local delivery routers (that is,
all routers following dnslookup, and not including it) with a single
router that just forwards to DomainA.com. This can be done, for
example, with a manualroute router whose route_list is something like

route_list = * mxhost.DomainA.com

and whose transport is remote_smtp.

4. Optionally, you can think about what should be done with the
local_aliases router. (Do you want aliases expanded on the legacy servers?)

And, as always, the Spec is your friend, or foe :-)
