When the Postfix SMTP server wants to send an SMTP server response,
this limits how long the Postfix SMTP server will wait for an
underlying network write operation to complete.

When the Postfix SMTP server Postfix wants to receive an SMTP client
request, this limits how long the Postfix SMTP server will wait for
an underlying network read operation to complete.

gives additional control over this process.


Forgive me being slow to comprehend. Does this mean the time it takes for the client to transmit attached file data is controlled by this timeout? If the timeout is 10s and it takes 20s to upload a huge file will it trigger this timeout?
