  Forward to proper MX record?  Isn't it a bit late for that?  If there 
was a "better" MX record, the mail would be delivered directly to that 
machine.

  I was going to do this sort of thing by adding code in aliases.cf to 
map "special" addresses (ex. info@domain.com) into "info-domain.com", 
which would have an entry in aliases file.  But my additions caused the 
router to dump core, so I went to plan B......perl.
