Thanks in advance.
You're on the right path, although you have to setup a few other things (like MX records) so your mail server knows where to send the "local" mail. Once you're accepting inbound smtp, you also have to secure your system to make sure you're not an open relay. Correct configuration could get tricky, or be pretty easy, depending on details of your current mail setup...
