At the moment, the mail relay is reached just from inside our company and
several applications use it to send mail through Internet. In this
scenario, one of these applications take the user "f...@mycompany.com" and
send mail to the Postfix relay. So the apps will be configured in this way
(after your advice):

Postfix server: x.x.x.x
Port: TCP/587
Security: STARTTLS
User: f...@mycompany.com
Pass: <empty>

Using mailx is in this manner:

$ mailx -v -r "f...@mycompany.com" -s "TLS test" -S smtp="10.10.12.5:587" -S
smtp-use-starttls -S ssl-verify=ignore u...@gmail.com

That last question please: what type of authentication is this? Normal
password ? This implies an extra line un main.cf?

Hundreds of thanks :)

Jelo
