Redirecting Single Domain in iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2

I am trying to redirect a single domain to another SMTP server. That
is, I want all other domains to be normally routed by MX record (excluding
of course, local domains), except for one. This one domain I want to
route to a specific server.

I am using iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2. From the documentation, this
shouldn't be too hard. In my imta.cnf file, I have a rewriting rule,

   ! Route this domain through aurora.
   ! tcp_aurora
   domaintoreroute.com $U%$D@tcp_aurora-daemon

And I have defined a new "channel" for this,

   ! Reroute mail to aurora.
   ! tcp_aurora
   tcp_aurora smtp nomx daemon aurora.globalstar.com inner switchchannel identnonelimited subdirs 20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver maysaslserver saslswitchchannel tcp_auth
   tcp_aurora-daemon

But this is not working. I believe the problem must lie in my channel
definition, because if I look at the queue, the messages to
"domaintoreroute.com" do end up in the "tcp_aurora" channel. However,
they do not get forwarded to the host. Nothing unusual in the imta
logs; the message gets queued and then sits there until I dequeue it.
Oddly, I cannot force a bounce of the enqueued message. Perhaps that
is also an indication of problems with the channel definition.
