I have setup postfix+mailman on my debian server and i have an issue with postfix submission port.
My ISP blocks SMTP on port 25 to prevent *spams and i must to use submission
port (587).
I have uncomment the following line from master.cf (/etc/postfix/) but nothing happens.
submission inet n - - - - smtpd
This is my mail logs file when i try to invite a user to mailman list
