I have a simple (I'll post postconf -n if it would help)
Postfix box that basically takes in mail and hands it off.
I have one user that would like to send and receive mail
from the outside. I'm ok with receiving mail, but I have
to (I think) set up some authentication so that I don't
become an open relay. What's the simplest way to do
this?
Thanks!

What works best for you depends largely on how your users read
mail now. If you happen to use cyrus IMAP already, it would
seem natural to also use cyrus SASL for smtp authentication.
Your system vendor may provide a postfix already built with
cyrus SASL included.
I like dovecot - I find it fairly simple to configure and
dirt-easy to integrate with postfix. Dovecot can use a
plain-text file for credentials if you have few users and
don't want the burden of configuring a *SQL backend.
Oh, and just because you use cyrus or dovecot for postfix SMTP
AUTH support, that doesn't lock you into that product for IMAP
and POP3 services.
