Some clarification, I'm not asking you (or anyone) to write my configs
for me, but to just point me in some sort of direction that has some
working examples I could pick up off of.... the postfix documentation
has some nice examples and tutorials for all sort of things, just
nothing for this particular feature it seems.

The source IP is defined based on the sender's domain. This is what I
need to achieve: "Recently there have been requests for sending mail
with source IP addresses that depend on the envelope sender."

Fair enough. I never claimed to be a Postfix guru, nor do I have the
urge to be one. Hence why I am posting here for assistance *from* the
experts :) . I understand that having it deliver to itself is a silly
task to attempt to undertake - my attempt was to get it to send from
that IP/service.
This was simple to achieve in Exim. Re-reading the same man pages is
futile, and buying a book to achieve what should be a simple goal
seems like overkill.

What does "go through" mean?
My understanding is sender_dependent_default_transport_maps is what
I want here based on my research prior to emailing this list, but I
could be wrong. I don't feel like I need an O'Reily book to achieve
this.......
The main trouble with not knowing is not knowing what you don't
know. The sender_dependent_default_transport_maps is a mechanism
in Postfix, that overrides the default transport:nexthop for outbound
mail based on the sender address.
It makes no sense to set this to an address handled by the same
Postfix MTA that received the mail, this is a loop. Thus your
understanding of how the pieces fit together is as yet insufficient
to meet your goals. A book or in-depth tutorial should in fact
be quite helpful:
