The OP hasn't stated exactly what applications and/or protocols are
required for this "post office", but if files are sufficient, you could
use OwnCloud (roll your own Dropbox). This would allow files to be kept
synchronised between machines but with no direct network connection
between them. The Pi runs the OwnCloud service and accepts connections
from each network interface, but does not route any data between the
interfaces.
