Sorry, this is incorrect. Postfix will use the indicated relayhost, and
only fall back to an smtp_fallback_relay if that is also set. There is
no fallback from the sender dependent relayhost to the default relayhost.
There is only one nexthop returned by trivial-rewrite(8) (which processes
both "relayhost" and the sender-dependent variants). So there is no
mechanism by which the default relayhost can be discovered by the queue
manager for messages subject to sender-dependent relayhost.
