I am having a lot of trouble setting up the Postfix to do STARTTLS. It seems that I could successfully send outgoing mail using Thunderbird. However, I can't seem to get the Postman SMTP for Wordpress to work with STARTTLS and PLAIN AUTH.
I configured my firewall to only open port 25:
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:memcache
REJECT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:netbios-ns:netbios-ssn reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
REJECT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:netbios-ns:netbios-ssn reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level warning
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere

I could openssl to port 25 with -starttls fine.
I have been reading and reading and its not going anywhere. Please help me find my error. Your help is greatly appreciated.
