When you look at postfix' config with the line "inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost", it is sure meant that $myhostname is resolved to an "outside" address (as opposed to a localhost address). Postfix should check that the given addresses are available for its local installation, though. Maybe one can tell Wietse that this is a security flaw, it will be fixed at once ;-)

As for the $myhostname being an internet address - well, not always. It can be a local network server only, too. For internal exchange only. It just needs a working DNS server.
It can be any address but a localhost address, that's what I meant when I wrote 'it is sure meant that $myhostname is resolved to an "outside" address (as opposed to a localhost address)'. Localhost addresses are in the 127.0.0.0/8 range :-) BTW, everyone using postfix should know the value of a working DNS ;-) Regards, Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
