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...
