Local vs. relayed mail

[Todd A. Jacobs]

I'm currrently using Postfix on a pair of machines, one of which is a
smarthost for the other. If I do something like this on the internal
machines:

    mail -s Test nospam < /dev/null

Then the mail is delivered locally, rather than through the smarthost.
If I manually append the domain, though:

    mail -s Test nospam@... < /dev/null

then everything works just fine. Is it possible to force smarthost
delivery for usernames that exist on both machines?

What do you have in your main.cf?  This works for me:

myorigin = yosemite.net
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
relayhost = mx1.yosemite.net
inet_protocols = ipv4
