I'm using Google Apps to handle personal email addresses for my domain name, and I set up the DNS as Google suggests. All works fine.

Now since I need a SMTP to send emails from my e-commerce I installed Postfix on the server. It works fine when I send emails to any email address but it doesn't send to the same domain name, so let's say my domain is example.com, I set postfix using example.com, if I try to reset a password using [email protected] postfix doesn't send and instead reports on the mail.log

Of course it cannot find a local user "myaccount" since that account is on Google Apps...

How can I tell Postfix to send the email and do not search for a local user?
