Yeah, once I get TLS setup. I am running 2.5.6. I did change the submission port to

o smtpd_enforce_tls=no -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
-o syslog_name=postfix/submit

Just to see what would get logged, I went ahead and tried to use this. I knew it wouldn't work, but I was hoping for useful error messages. I got this:

submit/smtpd[32686]: connect from c-67-164-162-51.hsd1.co.comcast.net[67.164.162.51]

If you really set syslog_name=postfix/submit, the above log entry would look more like:

postfix/submit/smtpd[32686]: connect from c-67-164-162-51.hsd1.co.comcast.net[67.164.162.51]

Not that useful...

How do you define 'useful' in this context? What were you expecting to see?

I wish more clients were like Mail.app in this respect, its default is to try 25, 465, and 587, so if all my users were using Mail.app, I could
just switch things and it would 'do the right thing'.

Is that true after initial configuration? It would be odd for a client
to start probing alternate ports outside of a configuration wizard.

Appears so.  Its default setting is "Use default ports (25, 465, 587)"


In my experience this feature is unreliable; once Mail.app succeeds in relaying via one of those ports (25, for example), I don't see that it *always* polls 465 and 587 if SASL fails on 25. But this is off-topic anyway. :)
