You could use regular expressions:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_sender_login_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/sender_login
/etc/postfix/sender_login:
# each sender is 'owned' by the login with the same name.
/^(\S+@\S+)$/ $1
As long as the SASL login names are validated by trusted code,
this should be safe.
