I'm far from being a postfix expert (my forte is really sendmail), but if I
understand your goal correctly - your postfix MTA could be used as a relay
for hosts on your private network only or authenticated users only; provided
you have the proper smtp restictions configured. (e.g. note the order of
permit_mynetworks vs. permit_sasl_authenticated)

cut/paste from main.cf...

mynetworks = 192.168.8.0/24

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
 permit_mynetworks
 permit_sasl_authenticated
... other restrictions

Obviously, your visitors would need to configure their MUA to use your
server as their outbound e-mail server.
