First of all, the setup on the page you referred is for sendmail+procmail.
What you have to do is investigate how virtual domains work under postfix 
and reproduce what's on 'virtusertable' on a 'postfix way'. And yes, those 
are alias from address to users on the machine.

This seems to be a completely different issue now. Either you have an A 
record for rt.mydomain.com which points to the host that receives email, 
or you have to do an MX record to the corresponding host.

	Hope this helps.
