That is quite a convoluted setup you have there. If I were in your
shoes, I would do it like so:
1. Have one incoming mail server (postfix) on a global IP, preferrably
on your DMZ.
2. Have a local mail server (postfix + pop/imap) on your local LAN.
3. Have a global mail server (postfix + pops/imaps) on your remote location.
4. Configure your DNS to have MX pointing to incoming mail server
(described in step 1).
5. On Incoming mail server configure mail routing (either through
virtual or transport) to deliver incoming mail for your domain either
to local mail server (on LAN) or remote mail server based on who the
mail is for.
6. Because your incoming mail server is on the DMZ, it should be quite
easy to set a rule on your firewall for it to connect to your internal
LAN mail server.
