[horde] Connection refused "localhost:587" when sending mail

[Patrick Domack]

Normally you want to use port 587, Post 587 is defined as the user  
submission port. Generally it makes it very easy to use this to filter  
your email that your users submit, than ones other email servers send  
you. This also solves the issue of remote users can't access port 25  
cause their isp bans it.

The only thing I can guess, is that your kolab config is specified to  
your external ip, something other than localhost, and since there  
isn't a seperate line in that config to bind to localhost, localhost  
won't work.

If that is the case, using port 25 with localhost also won't work.
