.htaccess redirect for all files but with exceptions

I know this has been asked thousands times, but I've been googling for three hours without any result. So I'm asking here. I'm creating a website. All the content is in the folder /subfolder. Now I want to redirect all the requests to another domain (let's say domain.com), at the exception of the files that I actually use. It may seem weird but it makes sense in my situation. So what I have at the moment is 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^account$ account.php
RewriteRule ^home$ myhome.php
RewriteRule ^options$ options.php
RewriteRule ^login$ login.php
RewriteRule ^links$ editlinks.php
RewriteRule ^help$ howto.php
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule ^forgot$ forgot.php
RewriteRule ^r$ redirect.php
RewriteRule ^r/(.*)$ redirect.php?id=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(login.php|login)
RewriteRule (.*) external.php?parameter=$1 [L]

How can I do this ? the above code always redirects me to domain.com.

Thank you in advance

Make sure to place redirect just below RewriteEngine On and use THE_REQUEST instead of REQUEST_URI like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/media [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/(login|signup)(\.php)?[?\s] [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^home$ myhome.php [L]
RewriteRule ^links$ editlinks.php [L]
RewriteRule ^help$ howto.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(account|login|options|forgot)/?$ $1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^r$ redirect.php [L]
RewriteRule ^r/(.+)$ redirect.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
