If you have a dot mac account, this is the easy way to go - simply set up
your outgoing mail server to smtp.mac.com and in the 'advanced sending
options' turn ON authentication (same as receiving mail server).

Note that some ISPs block traffic to other mail servers, and that dot mac
will ONLY accept mail for delivery that uses a dot mac sender address, so
you can't send your business mail through that server.

I highly recommend the use of Postfix Enabler. It makes it so much easier. I
also use the word 'localhost' instead of '127.0.0.1' simply because it loks
so much neater :)

I have only come across two domains that block traffic routed through
postfix on my machine - AOL & Microsoft!

Your pages refer to 'exchange server' - I would point out that postfix can
be used to replace any type of mail server, you don't need to be running an
exchaneg account to use it (or need it!).

Web-mistress in this case - Diane has been unwell recently and has not had
much time to keep the site up to date.
