general docs are here:
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall

The internal domains will be listed as relay_domains in postfix.
Valid recipients should be in relay_recipient_maps.

You'll need some way to export valid recipients to postfix
If that's not possible, use recipient_address_verification
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html#recipient

Minimal changes to inside boxes will include,
- don't accept mail from the internet (duh!)
- trust the postfix IP to minimize bounces
- set the postfix box as smarthost/relay/gateway or whatever they
call it for outgoing mail.
- I probably forgot something else...

both these are default behavior.

This is a good first step that should be relatively easy to implement.
