So, you want to sent messages of 30 or so specific mail addresses to one 
Dovecot server.

First, configure the Dovecot server so, that those addresses are mapped to 
the same (virtual) user account via a userdb.

Second, enabled LMTP in Dovecot.

Third, configure the MTA in the DMZ to drop the messages via LMTP to 
Dovecot.

Forth, configure a passdb{} in Dovecot so that the contact people may 
access the same mail storage.

There are many different ways for step 1 and for LMTP itself.
