Thank you all, I figured it out, but wouldn't have without your ideas. It wasn't a postfix problem. It was the system network cards. When I got that worked out, it seems like mail works just fine, as long as I remember to use ssl/tls. So now I need to ask one of my users to try from their end. Again, thanks to all who made suggestions.
