Ok - I do remember now. To do this I need to take a step back and rig
getpwnam that it will return 'no such user' for those accounts that need to
be forwarded to the big-proprietary-nt-mailserver. At first I tried to solve
it all within my dict_gecos, but changing getpwnam is also a suitable way.

/etc/nsswitch.conf is your friend..

Thanks & regards,
