127.0.0.0/8 is assigned to 'lo', which is why you can ping it. In order for postfix to use 127.0.0.2 though, I'm sure 'lo' needs 127.0.0.2 added as a secondary address.
The problem is that localhost did not appear in hosts, and postfix starts kicking errors for some obscure reason.
localhost is in hosts, twice at least.
lo gets assigned 127.0.0.1 regardless of the existence of a line in hosts.
That you can use anything in 127.0.0.0/8 to ping your own machine doesn't seem germane to the issue here. Its something odd in postfix.
That you can ping that destination is not the same as pinging /from/ that IP. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
