You mean mail already already in your INBOXes received before you have
installed your trendmicros filter, or mail sent internally by your
user ?

In the last case the simple solution is to ask your user to send email
directly to your trendmicro !
If this is not possible you can configure your trendmicros as a filter
for your postfix !
But if you want keep your trendmicro in front for your incoming email,
and have postfix in front for your local users, this is an unusual
configuration, ask the postfix mailing list for information to do that
!
