Your connectivity problem isn't a postfix issue. Something in
between postfix and the client server is blocking access, possibly
only port 25.
Just because clientA can connect to your web server doesn't mean
clientB can connect to your mail server.
Next step is a tcp sniffer between your server and the internet to
record unsuccessful attempts to connect to postfix. If this is a
hosted system, your debug options are limited; contact your hosting
provider for help.
I know you're frustrated, but this isn't a problem you're going to
fix by tweaking -- or replacing -- postfix.
thanks you for you suggestion on the TCP sniffer.. of the responses
I have received only yours offered a concrete suggestion instead
of damning me
