what does this have to do with courier anyway?

If you are trying to authenticate to send e-mail via postfix, the
methodology is clearly described on postfix.org website and yes, it uses
saslauthd which is a cyrus package but entirely separate from
cyrus-imap/courier/etc.

It's primarily a small daemon that provides the link to your system
authentication and rather trivial to set up (note that you probably have
to enable it in postfix/main.cf). Postfix uses sasl for authorization
and if you have a system in place that is capable of authenticating sasl
(ldap?) then you could probably work around not install cyrus-saslauthd
but it would be much more work.
