No, that it would do the same as tofmipd, but do it at the far
end of mail sending not go between client and SMTP server.
I see the problem (one of) is mapping outgoing mail address to
Unix user, tofmipd does that by making them authenticate, I just
wasn't over keen at more software between me and my MTA.

Yes, I got tofmipd up and running easily enough, and
authenticating against imap://localhost:143 (hopefully no one
will intercept my plain text authentication localhost to
localhost ;-), adding users to my whitelist already.
The documentation is a little vague on /etc/tofmipd, seems even
if you authenticate against IMAP or similar you still need the
file, with correct permissions, with nothing in. The topmipd
help or FAQ should say as much I think, or maybe the code should
only check for the file if it is in use.
As Python binds straight to Berkeley sockets "-p :port" seems to
listen on all interfaces. Might this be worth adding to the
online help, or is this obvious to everyone but me?
i.e.
"
-p <[host]:port> --proxyport <[host]:port>
The host:port to listen for incoming connections on. The
default is FQDN:8025 (i.e, port 8025 on the fully qualified
domain name for the local host).
If host is omitted the port is listened to on all IPv4
interfaces.

Thanks, I think having played a bit more with tofmipd the
question was slightly naive, but only slightly ;-) Fully
integrating it with an MTA requires specific configuration
options for the MTA, like SMTP authentication, I just wondered
if there was a quick and dirty way to integrate with Postfix for
a very scalable solution, not that I need a very scalable
solution today, as it is just me for the moment.
Thanks,
Simon
