Can Postfix do authentication on its own?  I currently use
Postfix/SASL.  I am building a mail server and I was wondering if I
need SASL.

My mail server setup is simple.  There are only two users, my wife and
everything else goes to me.  I want Postfix to send emails from
localhost to anywhere and from remote hosts to anywhere if
authenticated.

I don't have a problem with my current postfix/sasl setup.  However, I
would rather have as little software running as possible to simplify
the new setup.

Thanks,

Jim

Nope you need sasl if you'd like to auth from outside the system.

Or you can just ssh in and tunnel your email down your session which 
will appear to be coming from localhost or a trusted IP. Or go with some 
sort of VPN type setup. sasl is probably easier than all that.
