http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/notes/freebsd_postfix.html

(The above can pretty much be summarised into 1. Install postfix from ports, 2. disable sendmail and enable postfix in rc.conf as per output at the end of postfix make install, 3. stop sendmail and start postfix.

Then: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#client_sasl

After that, just create aliases as you need and as you would for any other MTA.

Cheers,
Daniel
