Thunderbird, for some reason, violates the SMTP standard when
attempting autoconfiguration. It sends multiple commands
("pipelining") without postfix having announced that it's OK to do
so.
<br>
<br>
You can either do the configuration manually (when Thunderbird
fails, I think you can still go to "manual" or "advanced" or
whatever button to continue with the configuration), or you could,
at least temporarily, disable postscreen (which is the only
complaining -- rightly -- about the improper pipelining), and then
enable it again once you have configured your account.
<br>
<br>
You can also read:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration</a>
<br>
<br>
and set-up the necessary XML file at your server so that
Thunderbird can pickup the settings automatically. I've done this
for one server, but don't have the details anymore in my head. The
link above should explain that all though.
<br>
<br>
Good luck!
