That brings something to mind that I ran up against a while back. In your transport map the destination needs to be enclosed in 
square brackets.  If not, then any MX records for it are used to determine the destination.  On server.domain1.tld, the map entry 
for domain2.tld needs to contain 'smtp:[server.domain2.tld]' instead of 'smtp:server.domain2.tld'.  The brackets tell Postfix (and 
Sendmail, for that matter) NOT to look up the MX records.

Hope that helps!
