Google for "mailhub configuration"

Easiest way is to create "madras.yourdomain.com" - and if you have a
public, static IP (which you can get from any dsl provider), set that up
with MX and A records for your static IP

madras.yourdomain.com.	IN	MX	10	madras.yourdomain.com.
			IN	A	your.static.ip

Then you'd have to have some way of syncing the userdb across the place
- and defining whether user at yourdomain.com is local (that is his account
is an alias to his madras.yourdomain.com account) or external.

There should be reasonable cookbook configs for whichever mailserver
you're running - I would recommend a common userdb across the actual
mailserver and the local one
