greetings
how can i test submission to port 587 from command line ?
I am setting up a relay for my some users to use when they are off site. Those
that have verizon need to use 587
I want to watch each step through so that i can make sure I have a clean path.
If the port requires TLS:
$ openssl s_client -quiet -starttls smtp -connect host:587
helo client.example.com
mail from:<xxx>
Caution: s_client uses R and Q for itself, so send lower case commands
(rcpt to and quit).

I believe "r" and "q" are reserved also. Attempting a full
mail transaction with s_client will likely lead to frustration
and may lead one to waste time solving problems that don't exist.
If the connection works enough for "EHLO world" and a
response, use a real mail client for a full test. Once the
connection works, very likely anything else that needs
tweaking will show up in the postfix log.
The key actions are documented in
# man 1 s_server
