Forward all mail for a specific domain

I have an exchange sever that recieves mail for two different domains
via recipient policies. I would like to forward all incoming mail for
one of the two domains to another server. Eventually, the MX record
will be changed and the server I am forwarding to will recieve the
mail directly but in the meantime, I need to do this and don't know
where to start.

Create a SMTP Connector, add the domain in the Address Space tab, add the
server you want to forward to as a smarthost.

And if the domain is in your Recipient Policy as you say, make it non
authorative there.

And remove recipient mailboxes for that domain.

Thank you all for the assistance. I have done everything mentioned
except removing the mailboxes. I did remove the smtp address for each
account though for the domain that I no longer wish to recieve mail
for. I am now getting the following message when trying to send mail
to anyone in that domain:

You do not have permission to send to this recipient...smtp;550 5.7.1
Unable to relay for...

Any ideas?

More info:

I went ahead and deleted the mailboxes. Now I get the following when
trying to send to this domain:

"The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message
was sent to."

I looked in the message tracking center and this is what was logged:

...Message submitted from Store.
...Message submitted to Advanced Queuing.
...Started Message Submission to Advanced Queue.
...Message Submitted to Categorizer.
...Message Categorized and Queued for Routing.
...Non-Delivered Report (NDR) Generated.

It appears that your Exchange organization still believes that it is
authoritative for the e-mail domain. Recheck your recipient policies.

Thank you all for the help. Everything worked just fine forwarding the
mail. There were problems with the Exchange server recieving mail on
the other end.

I did run into one minor glich...

<DomainA.org> and <DomainB.com> were originally on the same Exchange
server. After migrating <DomainB.com> to another server/network, many
of my users from <DomainA.org> could not send e-mail to <DomainB.com>
because they were using addresses cached by Outlooks AutoComplete. The
solution was to purge the files in the following directory:

%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
