I don't do multi-server, but logically the smtp host would be the machine which is running Postfix, which is the smtp server, or mta. The mailstore is local, it doesn't do the transport.

On my system I use Exim on an different internal machine for relaying, it does all the smtp time virus and spam checking before any mail gets to the Zimbra machine. In this case the Exim machine is my smtp host.
