Does anyone know how to setup postfix in such a way so that clients can "auto

I apologise if this is not a postfix thing perse.
This is not a postfix thing at all. Moreover, this is more than one
thing. For Outlook you've got autodiscover
<https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124251%28v=exchg.160%29.aspx>,
for Thunderbird it is autoconfig
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration>,
and for iOS like your iPhone the best thing I could find is
.mobileconfig file
<https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/Introduction/Introduction.html>.
Some popular programs (e.g. K-9 Mail) do not have any kind of
autoconfiguration for general case at all. In many cases users would
still have to manually fix things like their preferred email alias and
special folder names. Overally it's a mess which does not worth it if
the number of users is small.
