Hello,

What's the difference between these two options?

smtp_use_tls
smtpd_use_tls

Does the second one mean submission?

No.

smtp_* options are for the SMTP *CLIENT* in Postfix, which sends mail to other servers. They are used by the "smtp" program.

smtpd_* options are for the SMTP *SERVER* in Postfix, which receives mail from other mail servers and from users submitting mail. They are used by the "smtpd" program.

And, for an incoming message, how postfix knows the behavior is made by a peer MTA, or by a remote smtp client (like thunderbird)? Because both MTA
and thunderbird can use port 25 for sending.

To provide different services on multiple ports, you must have multiple services configured in master.cf to run the smtpd program (such as for standard SMTP on port 25, TLS-wrapped SMTP on port 465, or submission on port 587) the configurations are differentiated by "-o" options in master.cf.

I am a bit confused.

I hope I've helped.
