Postfix sending problem for local domain remote email

Hi,

I am managing a server with Postfix installed. Due to the problems with spam I've moved all the email accounts onto GMail which is working fine.

The only problem I have is email that is being sent from web forms (contact, appointments bookings etc) for domains that are hosted on my server. Postfix thinks that these emails accounts should be local as the domain is on the server.

Can anyone help me configure it so that the email is sent out from the server to gmail?

mydomain.com <- hosted on my server
myname@mydomain.com <- email account which is managed by GMail
mydomain.com/appointmentspage.php <- web page that tries to send email to myname@mydomain.com. This is actually hosted by GMail but postfix must thinks its actually local and tries to deliver it locally which fails.

Many thanks in advance as i've read the postfix book but just can't seem to work this out.

Cheers

Dan
