probably you're looking for something like this:

xxx:
driver = smartuser
condidion = ${if def:h_Foo {yes}{no}}
new_address = my_transport

i'm not quite sure whether it's h_Foo or h_Foo: or whether it's
case-sensitive or not, but you get the idea.

Indeed, though I think you meant "transport" rather than "new_address",
didn't you?

You should get into the habit of using h_foo: just in case there isn't
white space after. It's not cas-sensitive.

Another approach is to note that "transport" is expanded. So you can
have

transport = ${if def:h_foo: {transport1}{transport2}}

on any router (or director for Exim 3).

probably ;0

i could have sworn i've been using "new_address =" to change
transports... needless to say i can't find a single instance of it
in my configs... brain.gone.holidays...

Thanks for that, got most of the way there now. Any ideas how i can transfer
an email from mail server A (where *some* incoming mail goes to) to mail
server B. Mail server B is not an MX for any domain. any ideas?

cheers

Use a 'manualroute' router.
