services.postfix.enableSubmission

Whether to enable the submission service configured in master.cf.

      This service listens for plain text SMTP connections on port 587
      and supports explicit TLS via StartTLS.

      It is a way for clients to login and submit mails after an inband
      connection upgrade using StartTLS.

      ::: {.warning}
      [RFC 8314](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8314) discourages the use
      of explicit TLS for mail submissionn.
