Hello! I do not know wether this will help in your setup, but with esmtp you can send to different smtp relays depending on the senders address.
On my laptop I have the following: I let exim deliver only local mail, including that all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] That handles my local delivery. Additionally I use esmtp to get my mail out. Now if I send from my regular email address at the isp, then esmtp will send it to their smtp relay. However, when I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a sender, esmtp will deliver locally. So - pretty useless though - I can even send a email locally to my girl.
