Thanks for all the replies. This is what I want to do:

1.) I have two servers. Server 1 runs ubuntu and Server 2 runs mac os x 10.4
2.) postfix is already setup on Server 2
3.) I want to setup up smtp server on Server 1 for which, I am assuming I have to install post-fix as per DukeNuke2's instructions.
4.) Now, I want Server 1 to send out emails to Server 2 and Server 2 will send those emails to the outer world.

How can I do this ?
