Look at postconf(5) for "transport_maps".

Look at transport(5) for EXAMPLES.


Set it in your main.cf something like:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

And then create your /etc/postfix/transport like:


your.domain	smtp:[your.mail.server]


The [brackets] means don't do MX lookup.

Then do: postmap hash:/etc/postfix/transport
and: "postfix stop" and then "postfix start".
