Sorry if this has been answered before, most of the articles
i found on google mention very little, on my scenario.

I've created a MX record for mydomain.com (smtp.mydomain.com),
now Postfix on smtp.mydomain.com can send/receive mails
successfuly. Mails sent out are in usermydomain.com form,
mails received are delivered to local users' Maildir under
smtp.mydomain.com. Mails will be rejected if the user is not
found under smtp.mydomain.com.

While this configuration works, we quickly face the problem of
scaling. We want smtp.mydomain.com to be our mail-gateway,
which will only sending mails from intranet to internet,
or vice versa. The actual mail storage should be on another
Postfix machine, mail.mydomain.com. Users will get their mails
from mail.mydomain.com.

My question:

How can I configure Postfix, so that mails received by
smtp.mydomain.com will deliver to mail.mydomain.com?
I have tried putting aliases of every users in /etc/aliases
under smtp.mydomain.com. Like this:

        johndoe: mail.mydomain.com

Though it works, I just feel this may not be the 'correct' way
of doing it. Because for every new user, I will need to setup
the account under mail.mydomain.com, and its coresponding alias
under smtp.mydomain.com. Appreciate help on this.
