Dovecot does not speak SMTP to other mail servers, unless you mean "send mail" in a different sense than I'm used to.

I mean that I can send (SMPT) via Telnet which Postfix does fine. However when I configure Thunderbird mail client to use the IMAP (Dovecot) settings and attempt to compose a new message, the user (recipient) never receives the message. I am thinking as well as users of the Postfix list that this issue is related to my Dovecot config file not being properly set up. I could be wrong...
Thunderbird is connecting via SMTP to your Postfix installation to send; Dovecot only does the POP3/IMAP half.
