In most cases, running the CipherMail gateway as a separate instance is
advised since it makes things easier to configure. Nowadays with
virtualization like VMware, running an extra VM instance is relatively
simple.

You somehow need to distinguish between senders requiring encryption and
those who do not need encryption. Typically this is done based on the
senders domain like you suggested. If you only want encryption based on
for example whether the user was authenticated or not (via SASL) you
might see whether you can instruct Postfix to only send email to the
CipherMail box when the user was authenticated. Not sure whether that is
easy to configure though.

Kind regards,
