I am trying to configure my Linux server to receive mail for a virtual domain.
The domain name of the server cannot be changed due to other project requirements however, I want to configure postfix on the server so that any mail sent from any network using the virtual domain can be received by postfix. Please guide me if that is possible or not. If yes, what are the prerequisites to do so and what are the steps.

@JennyD - I did my research, however, I am into java coding and I am quite new to linux, I already did enough configuration that has been stated in the answer. I have some other doubt which I will ask to the person in comment. Apologies to asking such questions. will make sure not to ask questions here again.

I understand that you're new to Linux. The thing is, this particular site is aimed at systems administration in a professional context. It's really not the place to ask for a step by step guide for a beginner. So, like I said, go look at the Postfix documentation site and read the documentation there. Then try to implement it. Then, if you get stuck, you're very welcome to post agian - but include your actual configuration, what you wanted to happen, what happened instead, and any log lines from when it didn't work as expected.

If your mailserver is called server1.my.domain and you want postfix to receive mail and deliver locally as user1@other.domain
then you need to:
Set up external DNS with MX and A record for the domain "other.domain" pointing to the ip address for server server1.my.domain
Then you need to configure postfix to accept incoming e-mail to other.domain, in
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, localhost.$mydomain, other.domain
Then, an incomming email to user1@other.domain will be delivered to the mailbox of the unix account user1.
More details can be found in http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html, having examples of using a virtual alias domains and virtual user aliases, that is having multiple virtual mail domains handling e-mails separate for each mail domain.
