The secure way to do it is to install cyrus-sasl2, reinstall Postfix with sasl and tls support, and configure saslauthd to use PAM for validation. Then anyone with an account on your system can send mail from anywhere without allowing anyone else to. There are some good web pages on configuring things once they've been installed -- they're written from a Linux pov, but are easily adaptable if you ignore the installation part. They're linked from the Postfix documentation page (http://www.postfix.org/docs.html). There's also one written for OpenBSD that is even better -- http://www.securitysage.com/guides/postfix_sasltls.html . Note that it is written for Postfix 1.1.11; Postfix 2.x changes some of it, but the ports handle that fairly well. Also note that cyrus-sasl2 won't build with support for FreeBSD's base Kerberos 5 implementation -- you need to modify aclocal.m4 and rebuild configure to do that.
