I was just generally referring to the issue of smarthost = gmail which
has nothing to do with SASL as far as I could imagine. For that matter,
smarthost setup really has nothing to do with SASL.

I am definitely certain that few can match your ingenuity if you are
doing 3 smarthost routing methods based upon sender e-mail address
because you already know that while you are providing testimony to
postfix's flexibility, it was not really designed to scratch that itch. 

I can appreciate that it is probably not the easiest thing to get DSL IP
addresses, especially dynamically assigned addresses out of Taiwan to be
recognized as smtp sources these days... even if you get the e-mails
delivered, I would suspect that the spam score would make it somewhat
difficult.
