In the offsite server's master.cf, open the port 25 service
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
In the offssite server's main.cf, permit relaying from your main
mail server network(s) and reject mail from other systems.
mynetworks = 10.0.1.1, ...
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject
In the main server's main.cf, send mail through the offssite server:
relayhost = [name-of-offsite-server]
Where the [] are used to suppress MX lookups.
