We can assume you control the reverse then? (Many people will assume by
default that you can't.)

Now, for your question, I've done some searching. You are certainly not
the only person who has wanted to do this with qmail.

This mailing list post:
http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/04/msg00385.html

from 2000 suggests that this is not sonething qmail-remote can be
configured to do. Of course, this is only one person asserting that.

There's a patch that controls outgoing IP, but in a fixed fashion:

version mentioned at http://qmail.glasswings.com.au/outgoingip.patch

This post:
http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/08/msg00077.html
suggests that you need two separate qmail installs, one for each domain.

This reply to the above:
http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/08/msg00079.html
says that unfortunately, qmail just grabs the first IP address it can
for outgoing mail.

So it seems from my research that what you need to do is install two
different copies of qmail, each with the fixed IP patch applied.
