postfix-users: Building basic relay server

Building basic relay server

Hi,

I am trying to build a relay server using postfix-2.8.7 on fedora16
for one domain and a few sub-domains. This server should only accept
mail from two specific public-facing postfix servers that accept mail
for these domains, process the mail with amavisd/spamassassin, then
forward the resulting mail to this relay server.

Once the mail has been received by this relay server, it should
forward it into the internal Exchange server for the end-users.

Do I just define a few transport maps for this? Currently I have this:

mailrelay.example.com local:
example.com smtp:mail.example.com
dom1.example.com smtp:smtp.dom1.example.com
.dom1.example.com smtp:smtp.dom1.example.com

Since this server isn't reachable by any hosts other than the two that
are trusted, there aren't any local users, and no real decisions need
to be made, is there really anything else necessary to do this?

Thanks,
Alex
