split domain

[thheo]

Hello,

I am trying to setup a new domain in my cpanel that for e-mail would have some accounts locally and some accounts on a remote server. Unfortunately I don't have a list of e-mail addresses that need to be forwarded to the other server and I would like to to this "split domain" so that for any unknown local receipients it would forward the e-mail to the other server. I have to mention that the MX for the specific domain will be the cpanel server.
I am using exim and I have used google to search for a solution, but couldn't find anything useful..

Hello

There is no native support for hosting email service on multiple servers with preference over specific emails. The use of multiple mail servers with your MX records is typically done to account for times when the primary mail server is down. It might be possible through some customizations or with a third-party service, so I will leave this thread open for others to add their input.

Thank you.

I have succeeded in the end by doing this:
In exim advanced configuration editor in the editable box: PRENOALIASDISCARD
I have added a router with these rules:
==
whatever-name:
driver = manualroute
domains = "example.com"
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = example.com new.smtp.com
no_verify
==
At first it didn't work for me because I was putting this to ROUTEREND, however I searched the config until i found the virtual delivery router and I added this right after that one at the section mentioned above.
