thunderbird.
Users within horde can send and receive mail, between themselves and to and
from external email addresses.
When I use thunderbird as an external client I can see the mail, but fails
every time on smtp for sending.
The smtp setting in Thunderbird is STARTTLS with normal password
The error is "An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an
incorrect greeting:  "
If I use my google smtp setting it works.
I've spent unpaid hours trying to work out the correct settings from the
howtos

http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

Here is the code I have added to /etc/postfix/main.cf
the virtual file and virtual.db contain all the domains and users, postmap
-q seems to give the correct responses.
I don't have a vmailbox
