if it's one mail server then using serialmail instead would solve the
problem, and you don't need multiple qmails.
if you do resort to multiple qmails for this sort of problem then you
don't need to qmail-smtp on different ports, you could just use
virtualdomains to redirect the mail using qmail-inject?
the difficulty with all of this is the manual intervention required.
