I have a postfix configuration issue, I'm wondering if anybody has any
experience with this kind of situation.

I have an openXchange groupware box running a version of Postfix. We recently
acquired an external email spam/virus/content filtering box that sits between
the mail server and the internet. I've configured relaying and DNS properly so
all incoming and outgoing mail goes through the filter box. That's all good.
  
What I need to do now is run all internal email through the filter box. What I
need is for all mail from appliance.dom.org to be delivered locally on the mail
server, while all mail from anything-else.dom.org gets relayed to the
appliance. Obviously, just relaying all mail from the domain gets into a mail
loop.  Having the users change their mail client config is also not in the
cards.

I'm not a postfix expert, by any means, so this is giving me a headache.

Incredibly, tech support from the company that supplies the box says they never
had anyone who wanted to filter internal mail with their box.

The closest solution I can see is to split the postfix into incoming and
outgoing servers and have the outgoing instance deliver all mail to the
appliance while the incoming server handles delivery to the mailboxes. That
way, all mail would go through the appliance.

Is this the way to do it, or is there another solution? If possible, I'd like to
avoid having to split the instance since that means I would have to reconfigure
the appliance and I do not have admin access on that.
  
Any advice appreciated.
