Easy.  Strip off DOMAIN.ORG ($D) early in ruleset 0 (where doing so
won't affect the headers) and then recognize the locally
accessible hosts and send via smtp (or whatever you're using) --
i.e. resolve in ruleset 0:

R$*<@$=E>$*	$#smtp$@$2$:$1$3

alternatively you could use:
R$*<@$=E.$D>$*		$#smtp$@$2$:$1$3

assuming class E has been defined to include all of the locally
known hosts. e.g.:

# skip comments, accept multiple entries/line; (space through tilde plus tab)
FE/etc/hosts %[^#]%*[ -~	]
