    Reading your other messages, you seem to indicate that there's one 
public IP that both domains are pointed to, and redirecting would have 
to happen after that initial hop.

    This is probably not what you want, however the way I handle stuff 
like that is through MIMEDefang (which also gives me the benefit of 
being a mail scanner at the same time.)

    I host several dozen domains on our network and a large majority of 
them come in through 1 MX (1 IP).  That MX will then redirect the 
message based on the domain name, by sending it to one of 3 other 
servers behind it, depending on which server the final recipient is on.  
MIMEDefang's filter is written in perl, so it's rather easy to work with.
