Hi Emma,
I assume your boxen are running debian, if so, apt-get install postfix
will ask you which domains the server should accept mail for. Just
select "Internet site" as the type of install or whatever it calls it.
If you already have the _debian_ version of postfix installed then you
can be asked all these questions again by doing
$ dpkg-reconfigure postfix
Simple :D
