Disable smtpd in master.cf (comment out the line)   AND
set $relayhost in main.cf to point to the other machine.
To avoid two DNS lookups, set it up like so:

relayhost = [192.168.0.1]

(but obviously use the correct ip address).  The square brackets are
required (see the postfix doco for why)

blank out $mydestination in main.cf, like so:

mydestination =

Don't just comment it out as the default setting is the local machine,
and you don't want that.
You may also need to set $mailbox_transport too:

mailbox_transport = smtp:[192.168.0.1]

but I wouldn't worry about that at first - see if it'll work without it.

Feel free to send me "postconf -n" output if you have further issues.
