Maybe I should clarify what I mean as I dont think I have. If I need all mail coming from a particular address internally to bypass the default relayhost and be sent directly to the internet, how do I do that. For example:
my internal domain and network: *foobar.com* all outgoing mail to be relayed via: *relayhost.foobar.com* sender email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] destination address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *& [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I want all mail that comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be sent directly to the internet and NOT to be relayed via relayhost.foobar.com. So when the user sends the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want the server to check what the primary MX for the domain gmail.com is and then send it to that server. And the next time it sends another email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it sends it directly to the Hotmail MX servers.
