I like it! No need for a separate outbox with postfix being the outbox
itself. That's the fire-and-forget workflow I'm looking for.

I looked a bit around and also found instructions for GMail [1]. What
irks me though is that it requires putting a plain-text password into
/etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_passwd. Ideally I'd use my OSX keychain and put
in the password on demand via 'security find-generic-password'. How do
you handle SMTP server authentication?

Yeah, I noticed that I can access the mailbox like any other. Simply
piping the message through sendmail should then do the trick then. 

The remaining I have (see the other sub-thread) is setting up the local
MTA on OSX so that it relays mail through an authenticated and encrypted
SMTP session. But that's not a mutt problem anymore.
