So you have the MXs for your domains pointing to postfix instance on that
single IP machine that acts as a gateway and also runs perdition,
forwarding mails to the respective sub-servers?

Perdition only deals with POP/IMAP, you need to use something else for
SMTP.
Is there a specific reason the mail _needs_ to be sent through their
respective domain servers? Can't you just have the gateway node handle it
all? (of course in real life you really want this to be at least a 2 node
HA cluster)
If you need it to go through their servers, you could force-forward the
mails submitted (MSA) to the gateway machine to the correct domain server
by some postfix magic based on the login credentials. 
I'm pretty sure I could do something like this with Exim, for postfix you
need to find a postfix guru I guess.

Chibi
