If you want to stop smtp relay for all other hosts, use
# postconf -e "mynetworks_style = host"

Postfix can receive huge domains.
# postconf -e "mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.localdomain, \
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual"
You list your virtual domains in /etc/postfix/virtual file.
The function of the Virtual domains mainly provided by MDA.
You can use any MDA which is starting by lmtp, pipe, INET, UNIX domain socket.

Postfix use piggyback mail transfer.
If two or more recipients are in the same domain, postfix/smtp use
ONLY ONE smtp connection for sending message.(like a sendmail, exim..)
BUT qmail use newly qmail-smtp each message.
