If you can explain what you mean by "allow these tls connections" we can give more pointers.
Looking at the logs, the company that is having issues with our mail server only has issue occasionally. It appears to be one server in particular. This one server always starts a TLS connection, and that's usually the end of it.

Do you expect to authenticate? ie. you've issued them credentials? If yes, they aren't authenticating; their mail server is misconfigured.

If not, they *should not* be connecting to your smtps port; their mail server is misconfigured and it's not your problem.

If this is just some third party that wants to send you mail, they must connect to port 25 like everyone else. If they want to use TLS, they must use the STARTTLS command on port 25 like everyone else.

"The Book of Postfix" is excellent, but getting a little outdated (common problem with any treeware tracking a living software project). Online, the official postfix documentation and archives of this list are invaluable.
