Mail from localhost delivered to Google Apps with Postfix? Anyone have a solution?

So your domain's MX goes to google, and you just want locally-generated
mail to get forwarded as normal mail to your address?
You may be able to deliver straight to Google, like you're trying, but
that isn't necessarily the only way to go. Your ISP probably has an SMTP
server, and when accepting mail from its internal network may not even
require authentication. This is easy to set up in postfix (relayhost).
So, postfix knows it isn't example.com (but foo.example.com), and you
put you at example.com in your ~/.forward, and then postfix sends mail to
you at localhost to you at example.com via your ISP's SMTP server, and it ends
up the same place all mail headed for you at example.com does.
