That's exactly what I have here reserved:
main.cf:
...
relay_domains = cdb:$config_directory/cdb.relay_domains
transport_maps = cdb:$config_directory/cdb.transport_maps
...
cdb.relay_domains:
example.com OK
cdb.transport_maps:
example.com :[oldserver.example.com]
Currently, they are both empty. When I have to move a domain to my
server, I populate the map files with the necessary information.
Once DNS has had a chance to propagate, the entries are removed and a
final email message migration is taken place.
I don't think it is a bit ugly as it just works and has for several
years. You just have to remember to remove the entries from the maps
when everything is complete. Otherwise, your server will still attempt
deliveries when it should not.
