To follow myself up a little bit, I got the above problem solved - not
with postfix, but with masqmail. Masqmail is able to to send mail to
different mail providers depending on the sender. This is achieved via
routing files for each separate user. See 'man 5 masqmail.route' and
also 'man 5 masqmail.conf'.
As a sidenote, using sendmail from evolution directly does not work, it
only results in a popup (Broken pipe). The way around here is to send
mail via smtp to localhost.
