I might be using wrong terminology, sorry
port 587 smtp auth works ok on this server, with other iPhone users as
well with Android, Outlook, TB, etc

as far as I can tell, this iPhone was not even trying to connect to
postfix server

the error message didn't say, I've screenshoted it, not sure if iPhone has
some other log access one can see ?

the 'failed on cell, delivered later on wifi' header below, sender
name/dom and mailhost name altered:
I created the message around 9:35am, iPhone seems to have it as 9:45 (fwiw)

================
how/what should I search for in mail log ?
scrolling manually around 9:35 (the time I was attempting to sub,mit
email) I couldn't find anything that indicated attempted access from this
user, it's possible I was looking incorrectly
but, my understanding of mail header above, it was submitted to ISP's mail
server, not postfix server, yet, the only enabled smtp I saw on iphone was
my postfix server (unless iPhone user fiddled the iPhone..?)
thanks again for any pointers
