[somewhat OT] multiple relayhosts-style behaviour in postfix 2.0.x?

Hello all,

 

I am curious if anybody knows of a way to have Postfix 2.0.x to exhibit the behaviour of multiple relayhost entries?

 

To explain further: I have been asked by management to test a number of anti-spam tools (including DefenderMX, Barracuda, and so forth) under "real world" conditions.  Since I'm not about to replace my existing border-SMTP servers with an untested infrastructure, the only real solution would be to have the Postfix instances split or mirror their SMTP traffic to the test servers (which would, of course, ultimately deliver to /dev/null).

 

Since literally specifying multiple relayhosts is not permitted (since 1.x), can anybody think of a way to force the above noted behaviour in Postfix 2.0.x?  And yes, I realise that 2.0.x is very old - this is one of the major reasons we're testing new systems...

 

Thanks!

 

p.s. Though I realise this question is Postfix-specific, please don't get your flame on - we're all friends here. :-)
