Hmm.. Forwarding should do it I guess.  The goal I'm aiming for is to 
split off all webserver activity from the mail host..
I guess that's clearly doable, I think the only thing would be to set up 
the Postfix on the webserver to use a subdomain for the lists, otherwise 
everything would loop back to the first SMTP. At least in my theory.. :)
