I don't know anything about this AnalogX, but I just scanned the web page.
it suggests a quick question: do you have the latest version (4.07)? That
one's description says "Fixed problem with SMTP (sending) email".

I can't tell if AnalogX is supposed to be a proxy MTA or if it just does
masquerade-like NATting. Given that they claim to have fixed a problem in
AnalogX that was specific to sending mail, I would guess it's a forwarding
proxy. In that case, you need to tell postfix to use the NT machine as a
mail forwarding host (sometimes called a "smart host"). Let's see, I think
I was doing something like that a little while ago...
Hmmmm, the relayhost setting looks useful. You probably don't need to worry
about transport_maps for a simple setup, but then again you might need that
after all.
