[TriLUG] Exclusions in a virtmaps file

Hey,
  Some of you may recall a few months ago I was trying to figure out how to
get a third-party sendmail server to transfer all our mail into our in-house
server.  The solution you guys ultimately helped me decide on was to add the
following line to virtmaps on the third-party server:
@strutmasters.com    %1 at strutmasters.net

Which, of course, since you guys are geniuses, works like a charm. (-:

Now we have a trouble-maker..  For reasons that completely escape me, he is
saying his Outlook Express isn't retaining his server settings from one
reboot to the next.  So now he wants HIS e-mail address (ex.
foo at strutmasters.com) to NOT get passed to our internal server (so that he
can resume using the settings that OE seems to want to force upon him).

So, given that I have the above line in virtmaps, is there a syntax for an
exception to the rule?  A line where I can specify that foo at strutmasters.com
*doesn't* get forwarded along with everything else?  It is essential that
the default remains to forward mail.

Thanks a bunch, y'all.

Cheers,
~Brian
