Hi all,
I don't know if dispatcher is the exact word to express this concept but I
need that a postfix server doen't send the mail directly but it can pass
this mail to send to one of a series of postfix series that are the actual
senders of the mail..this server are parts of my network, I have just
installed them...

Other mail server can do this, only they need to receive the list of
addresses of the mail servers but I use postfix so I'd like to do this using
it....

Is there some keyword to configure this behaviour in postfix?

thanks everybody!

I believe the term you're looking for is "How to configure postfix as a
relay" Google that.

Round-Robin-DNS might help. What actual problem are you trying to solve?

Use DNS. Seriously.

And please keep your mails on-list, so others can benefit from the
discussion as well.
