I implemented hosts_override halfway but I dove into the docs again, and then
stumbled over fallback_hosts in the routers chapter and I think I got it now:
dnslookup:
driver = manualroute
transport = internal_smtp
route_list = * 192.168.84.30
no_more
the transport:
internal_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = OUTGOING_INTERFACE
fallback_hosts = 192.168.84.31:192.168.84.32
seems to work as I test it. There's no other routers for that transport, so I
hope it's OK.
thank you again!
Maarten.
