Perhaps I'm missing something but I think you should be looking at
virtusertable.
I'm assuming that all mail is going to come through the linux sendmail
box. I believe you can forward all the mail not being processed by
sendmail over to the other mail server using virtusertable. The other
mail accounts would simply be processed by sendmail.
