I believe that you should be using the delegated mail server feature on
mail2. Just fill in the appropriate box in the manager with mail3's IP
address, and you'll get no more local deliveries, just SMTP forwards to
that address.
If you had wanted to have a mix of local deliver (for some domains), and
SMTP forwarding (for some other domains), you'd need custom template
fragments for obtuse-smtpd-check_rules and rcpthosts (so that both
handlers accepted mail for the extra domains) and a custom template
fragment for smtproutes (to get those domains forwarded).
[Just in case you wanted further illustration of just how flexible the
e-smith architecture is :-)]
