RELAY "unique.user@foo.com" from the primary MX to the secondary MX.

At this point in time I am running an SMTP server (sendmail 8.13.1) on a Linux box. We have a static IP with the MX record for our DNS pointing to that IP. Once mail is received, sendmail automatically relay's the mail to our Exchange server.

I am setting up a Google account for our domain but I just want to test it with particular users first. Since both Google and my Local SMTP server use the same domain for DNS I don't know how to make this work. So I am assuming that I need to get my local SMTP server (Primary MX) to somehow relay email for the individual users I choose to the google SMTP server (Secondary MX).

I.E. I have two users b...@foo.com and t...@foo.com. I want all email for Bill to go to the primary MX and all mail for Tom to go to the secondary MX.

I've seen "user@domain RELAY" in the access DB but I don't see a way to make it relay the mail to a particular server. I've looked at mailertable but that's only for the domain. If someone knows how I can do this or where I can begin to look it would be appreciated.

And this isn't a forwarding issue. If I just forward the mail for a particular users it's still going to come back to the primary MX.

Thanks
 
Can you tell me what the google account is and what it does?
