I don't understand why you'd need to send mail locally with SASL, since
local delivery shouldn't require any authentication that I know of.

As to how to make Postfix on Panther relay all outgoing mail (anything
that's not destined for your own domain) through a mail server that
requires an authenticated connection, this is how I did it in a nutshell:

echo "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com  user:my_password" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
  echo "
myhostname = box.brehob.org
mydomain = brehob.org
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = box.brehob.org, g5.brehob.org, brehob.org
mynetworks_style = subnet
relayhost = smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
masquerade_domains = brehob.org
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
inet_interfaces = all
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
  " >> /etc/postfix/main.cf

I don't believe my mail server requires encrypted connection just requires
a password to be entered somewhat encrypted.  I've tried to spend as little
time on this as I can, so once it worked for me, I stopped analyzing.

Norman Gall was kind enough to document some of this better than I have,
at http://www.spookyhill.net/HOWTO/imapdv2/index.html, so that may be
of help, too.
