Most questions have already been answered by Andreas and Christine but 
perhaps I might add some extra info.

Yes that's correct. You have to tell you email server (@192.168.30.4) to 
relay all email to the djigzo box and tell djigzo to relay all email for 
the relay domains (see MTA settings "Internal relay host") to your email 
server (@192.168.30.4). All email to external recipients should either 
be directly sent (leave "External relay host" blank) or relay through 
some external SMTP server (for example Gmail or some other external SMTP 
relay host).

djigzo currently only support two encryption standards: S/MIME and PDF 
encryption. S/MIME uses certificates for encryption/decryption and is 
supported by most email client. PDF encryption utilizes the encryption 
capabilities of the PDF standard (AES128 encryption). The main benefit 
of PDF encryption is that the recipient only needs a PDF reader.

There are solutions that allows the recipient to upload the received 
message back to the server for decryption. This more or less works as 
follows: a message is received which contains a HTML attachment 
containing the encrypted message. When the user opens the HTML 
attachment, the HTML gets sent to the server it came from. The user then 
has to login and the message is decrypted. The problem with these kinds 
of systems is that it's prone for phishing. If the attacker intercepts 
the message and changes the URL it gets sent to, the attacker can get 
hoeld of the password. With S/MIME and PDF encryption, all decryption 
will be done locally on the system. The message content does not leave 
the system.
