Hello, 

In main.cf, the variable inet_interfaces demands an IP address. I say demand, 
because if I supply the name of the interface, postfix check returns the 
following error:

> postfix: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: em0

There are two problems with this.

1. The error message says "host not found". This means that "em0" is treated by 
"postfix check" as if it were a host name. Since the variable inet_interface is 
asking for a network interface name, the "postfix check" should check whether 
it corresponds to a network interface, not to a host name.

2. If I supply an IP address, "postfix check" accepts it. However, an IP 
address is not a network interface, hence the check should fail.

I understand that an IP address is what it has been taking for decades, but can 
we use the name of a network interface without incurring in this error?

Thank you
