Better not tell my network that I need to maintain accounts on all
servers.  I have three MX records with varying priorities and the two
with the highest priority (least prefered) don't have accounts for
any of my users.  They will queue and relay the email to the real
mail server.

Now I think you have the right method to handle what the original
poster wanted.  I haven't done that so I can't say for sure.
