This is fairly simple to do. First off you need to define what is called the
relay host:

#define the host to foward unresolved addresses to
DRsmarthost

#define the mailer used to send to the relay host
DMuucp

Next you will need the rule(s) in ruleset 0 to utilize these macros. I am
not sure if the RT cf file has anything like this by default, if not it
will require that you somewhat understand the flow of the rules and insert
the new rule at the right point. This is an example from turnkey's cf:

#fully qualified names that are not part of our domain are sent
#to the smarthost for resolution  -jackv
R$*<@$+>$*	$#$M$@$R$:$1<@$2>$3	user@host.notourdomain

If it helps, this is the second to last rule in 0 for me, the last rule
faulting to local delivery. Anything in your domain should have been
handled prior to getting to this rule, there are fancier or more specific
ways the rule could be formulated but provided the whole ruleset is set
up correctly this will work for you.

Hope this helps, email if you have further questions!
