Open port 587 in postfix

The isp of some user were using port 587 instead of the standard port 25. In newer postfix versions it is very easy to make postfix listen on the submission port. To enable it I only had to change my /etc/postfix/master.cf and uncomment the following line:

submission inet n - n - - smtpd
