You should post the output of "postconf -n", not the entire file.

The default setting in master.cf for receiving is:

smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
#smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
#  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
#  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
#  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
#  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

You should NOT be using the depreciated SMTPS port. The submission
port(587) is the preferred method. What version of Postfix are you
using anyway?

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is
supposed to be doing at the moment.
