 pF> I was thinking I could have Postfix configured to answer on port 25,

 pF> I'm not sure if I'm missing something here.

 pF> How do you handle mail in a similar situation?

Sounds good and I don't know any other way to do it, if you have one IP address
only. Postfix is the relay server for domain2 (relay_domains) and forwards
mails to Synchronet.
