Tangentially related...

I recently became aware of libsaslc(3) on NetBSD which can be used with
the native Postfix MTA to add SASL client support (authentication + SSL)
when setting up smarthost relaying, a common end-user need.  There didn't
seem to be much documentation on how to set things up so I wrote the
following (example is specific to SDF.org but should work similarly for
most smarthosts):

Might be nice to add to the NetBSD Guide email/postfix section.
