Let me clarify a little,
1) I want my users to interact with the internal server only. (handles both
smtp and pop3 requests)
2) When the internal server receives a message that is not local, forward it
to the external server (which is setup to relay) for delivery to the final
recipient. The internal server interacts with only the external mail
server.
3) The internal server will need to receive all user mail from the external
server and deliver it to the appropriate vpopmail Maildirs locally.
Basically I want internal E-mail to flow as normal even if the external
mailserver is down.
Thanks again.
Rick

If I understand right, I think the best approach is installing
the internal server with relay to IPs of your users and/or smtp-auth
and just put @mydomain.com in locals.
Then configure your clients to use the new smtp.
Actually, it seems very trivial, if I understood it right.
