No I have postfix _not_ working, getting trinity:/etc/init.d # cat /var/log/boot.msg | grep -i postfix Starting mail service (Postfix)failed Failed services in runlevel 3: postfix
probably because this line
trinity:/etc/init.d # cat postfix | grep -i ::1 PIFACES=$($POSTCONF -h inet_interfaces|sed -e 's/\(127.0.0.1\|::1\|[[:space:]]\)//g')
This line extracts all interfaces from the Postfix configuration, except localhost. Localhost _may_ be IPv4 or IPv6. This command does not access any IPv6 interface in any way. Therefore this line is not the cause of your problems.
Any ideas please, how to get postfix started without listening on ipv6-type address?
Look at /etc/postfix/main.cf. Check if the configuration line with inet_interfaces has a ::1 in it. If yes, discard it. Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany
