No. It says "route portal.mdr.net according to MX record". It is used 
in this context:
portal.mdr.net:
:smart.host.at.isp
(it delivers to portal... directly, and the rest relays though the 
provider)

1. (more work) stop qmail, identify all those messages, delete 
them, start qmail
2. (simpler) Put
portal.mdr.net:alias-nowhere
into virtualdomains. Put
#
into ~alias/.qmail-nowhere-default. Put
portal.mdr.net:127.0.0.1
into smtproutes; if localhost is not allowed to relay, put 
portal.mdr.net also into rcpthosts. HUP qmail-send.
ALRM qmail-send. Watch the mails go to bit-heaven.


In other words, you don't make smtp to nowhere; you make virtual 
domain to nowhere.
