    You can use Transports. Put the following line into /etc/postfix/main.cf:

    Code:
    transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
    Into /etc/postfix/transport, you put
    Code:
    * smtp:<destination mailserver>
    Then run
    Code:
    postmap /etc/postfix/transport
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    That doesn't matter at all. You can place all settings wherever you like in main.cf. :)

    Hye I'm new to postfix and need to accomplish the same effect as above ( I need all emails coming to a certain domain to be forwarded to a single use under another domain.) so what I did, I added the domain to the transport table and the transport to the appropriate server. My problem is I am not clear on how I am to retrieve the mail sent to that domain. How does the mail know what user to go to? or how do I dictate what user all mail coming to domain blabla.com should go to on blabla2.com?

    Take a look at
    Code:
    man 5 transport

    Relayhost

    You can also use:

    relayhost = smtp.server.com

    in main.cf to forward all external mail to a smart host
