For my home system, due to my RSP (TPG) being bloody useless at email, I

 Thanks Gary, smtp2go was one service I consider(ed).
 

Setting up authentication with Postfix is pretty easy, then I had to
look into transport maps because I use various domains for various
things (it's not like I'm the ACM!  ;-) ), and use the correct relay in
relation to the "From" address, and I've not had an email go astray since.

 I see. I have one domain with multiple aliases, will it be OK to just
forward everything to their relay, without creating each alias there?
 

What do you mean by "aliases" in this context?
Do you mean that /etc/aliases has a bunch of "xyz: arnold" lines, or that you have multiple domains or sub-domains mapped to a single domain?
If it's aliases, that'll be fine, if you're playing with domain-mapping, go join the postfix mailing lists, that's the deep magic. :-)

Actually I might even disable relaying in my Postfix and switch my MUA to
use their relay directly... this way, my Postfix would be used for
incoming mail only.
 

That's a way to do it.
