I only told it to connect to [mail.gmx.es] using port 465, I did not tell it to change anything else.
Then the thing demanded I do:

which I did, then it complained about a library version problem:
As Andrei has explained, you have changed the global settings for the postfix smtp client. These will also be applied internally, e.g. for amavisd.
Why on earth are the changes needed for the external ISP GMX.ES affecting the internal amavis handling?
Well, you changed it globally, so they affect everything.
Otherwise, how on earth do I configure postfix to send to gmx.es using port 465 properly without affecting the rest? Surely people on this continent using the daft Bell network must do something?
Restricting port 25 and asking people to use port 587 for mail submission has been standard ISP practice for years and years.
Not in Spain. They don't block anything. Freedom, you know? ;-p
I would suggest you forget about SMTPS and port 465, and instead use port 587 with STARTTLS.
I tried submission first, and it failed. The automatic configuration with Thunderbird uses 465, and Andrei said submission is not 465. So I did what he said, which provoked other worse errors :-( Anyway, I got it working, see my previous post :-) Except on Telefonica, they do not allow submission, use 25 instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
