That's easily done w/MailScanner.  I use sendmail here.  In
/etc/mail/mailertable just put something like the following:

  mydomain.com		esmtp:[192.168.1.25]
  myotherdomain.com	esmtp:[192.168.1.25]
  tabs go here-----^^^^

Add any domains you want to receive mail for, and the address of the
internal mail server that you want to send them to.

and in /etc/mail/relay-domains put any domain you're relaying for such as:

  mydomain.com
  myotherdomain.com

You'll probably need to edit the access file to allow relaying from internal
machines outbound.  It's well documented...
