Hello,
as Gmail is often putting e-mails from me into recipients' Spam folder, and
there seems to be no solution for this (I tried everything to no avail), I'm
considering an idea of sending e-mail to Gmail users via Gmail server, with
help of a Gmail account specially created for that purpose. (If that doesn't
help then - I guess - nothing helps :( ).

I have a few questions regarding how to configure this in Postfix.

1) It's obvious that Postfix has to authenticate to Google SMTP server to
submit mail through it (with credentials of that specially-created Gmail
account). However, I found in the Postfix docs that SMTP client
authentication works only with Cyrus SASL module, not with Dovecot one. I
have currently Dovecot SASL configured, as Dovecot is running as my IMAP
server, and I don't want to change that. Is it possible to have both SASL
modules (Cyrus and Dovecot) installed and working simultaneously? Or to
have Cyrus module working with Dovecot IMAP server? Well, it is actually
more a generic Linux question than Postfix-specific, but I hope someone here
will be able to answer :)

2) Assuming I have SMTP client authentication working, now I have to setup
transport_maps (and smtp_sasl_password_maps) so that only mail to Gmail is
sent through Gmail server. And here is some tricky part.

While putting the gmail.com domain explicitly as a key in transport(5) table
is no problem, there is a multitude of companies that are using G Suite and
have Gmail-hosted mail with their own domain, and I experience the same
issue with them (ie. my mail being put to Spam by Gmail). So there's a need
to check if the MX for a destination domain is within google.com or
googlemail.com domain, and if yes, to send mail via Gmail server as well. 
Is there any way to do it with transport_maps ?
