Email query

And if you run the relay in house, it's free.
Hardly free. Roughly how much would you expect an MSP to charge to install, manage, support and patch an on-premise mail relay?
I'm still not sure about the purpose of using a relay. You still have to create a connector in O365 to accept mail from the relay. And you still need to put restrictions in, either by IP address or by a certificate on the relay. So what difference does a relay make compared with just having the application use the connector directly, as suggested by @JaredBusch? The relay seems redundant here.

No you don't. The relay is modern so the relay itself will support logging in Via SMTP. The only reason we're adding a relay is because the software itself does not support this function natively.

Oh, ok. I was just following the instructions that @JaredBusch linked to about creating a connector. So you configure Postfix to login in to O365 with a username and password? Nothing needs to be done on O365? Is that simple to do?

I've never done it, so that part I have no idea.

It sounds fairly straightforward.

It is fairly straightforward. But I would still do a relay and you authenticated email

I talked to Jared offline about this.
His suggestion here is just what I said - Assuming the relay acts just like an email client, then you can skip the connector instructions above. The fact that the relay is authenticating allows it to send emails on behalf of the software in question as if it was any normal user.
