I presume you are using exim4?

Just setup a hubbed_hosts file

eg:

 >#    cat /etc/exim4/hubbed_hosts
timesmedia.co.nz: mail.timesmedia.co.nz

I'm not exactly sure if you can point it at ip addresses however, as it 
sort of goes against the rfcs - "thou shalt not point mail at an ip" or 
similar, which exim follows quite strictly.

You could probably setup an alias in your hosts file though.
