postfix config

[william_holt at speakeasy.net (Bill Holt)]

I am familiar with the order of precedence in MX records, however, the outside world will be accessing my mail gateway via the MX record. The gateway will process incoming mail for spam, then relay it to the server listed in the transport file. Now the question was and is, is it that the transport file only allows a one to one mapping (example.domain smtp:1.1.1.1) or a one to many mapping (example.com smtp:1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2) or something different.... what is the syntax for allowing something other than a one to one mapping?
