I am interested in setting up an SMTP/Sanitizing server and a separate POP/IMAP server, mainly for load balancing. Do I need to make other manual configurations than those mentioned in this article to do this? I have user's mail in Workgroup Manager configured to forward to the POP/IMAP server. I see from the master.cf configuration that postfix is executed as the user cyrus. Will then local delivery only be to the SMTP server and forwarding to my POP/IMAP server not occur?

Forwarded mail does not pass through the local delivery transport, so those messages are not scanned by the sanitizer. Only mail delivered to the local machine is scanned.
