iPhone. Try checking the ActiveSync log for a properly formatted email
being sent - you might have to enable the verbose logging. You can post, or
send the log to me directly if you like.  If the log doesn't show anything
special, and the SMTP server log doesn't show anything useful, you may have
to wireshark the Client -> Horde conversation while sending the email to
see exactly what is being sent.

Hi Michael

Sorry, for the delay, I had access issues.

Here are the log snippets..

It beats me why the MTA suddenly sees submission attempts as local
delivery..!?  Nothing has changed in the postfix configuration for at least
a year.  And my iPhone 4 was working reliably until I got the iPhone 5s..

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Simon
