You can set up a transport map, like so:

    aol.com:	smtp:smtp.comcast.net

In your main.cf you'd have something like

    transport_maps = hash:/path/to/transport_file_containing_text_above

I once had to use a transport map for a client who needed a real, live,
honest-to-God, UUCP feed.  It was finally shut down last month.
