  It is done with   fullnamemap  -database.
I recall I had to add usage of that mapping into   rrouter.cf
just before newsgroups -checkup to get this behaviour.

  Of course, that (and many other things) are covered in my patches
to present base (2.2.1) source; available via anonymous ftp from
nic.funet.fi:/pub/unix/mail/zmailer -directory.

  After that diff snapshot I have been adding some of those
"ideas for developement" I presented a while ago.  Most recent
thing has been adding real verbose trace of SMTP session -- it
did need modifications into scheduler, transporter library, and
smtp-module.
