Hi, 

I needed this functionality as well, but didn't have much luck getting relay 
domains to do the trick so I managed to mod my install of vexim 2.x to 
handle a scan & forward setup including destination address. 

I didn't mess with the interface, simply because it's only me making these 
changes and a simple SQL insert statement does the trick for me. 

I can compile the changes and send them to you if you like, or I could 
possibly set it up as a mod in the wiki. 

Cheers 

Tim
