    If I have domain xyz.com.
    the postfix server is smtp.xyz.com and the internal mail server is
    mail.xyz.com.
    will the transport xyz.com         smtp:mail.xyz.com still works?

    because i'm affraid that because it have the same domain, the
    email will not be forwarded to mail.xyz.com.

If it's not installed, it can't be hacked.
