Patrick,
Unless I am not understanding the question, can you not just forward
e-mail using aliases?
Let's say 192.168.1.1 is hosta.domain.com and 192.168.1.2 is
hostb.domain.com. hosta.domain.com receives the mail and forwards
according to the alias rule. An entry in your aliases file
(/etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases) would look like this:
johnsmith: johnsmith@hostb.domain.com
Running newaliases will dynamically update the aliases database.
