To report a problem, please follow instructions in the mailing
list welcome message. Instead of an eye witness report, provide
concrete evidence from the configuration and logfiles.
Like this:
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
1.2.3.4:25 inet n - n - 1 whatever
# postfix stop
# postfix start
# tail -3 /var/log/maillog
Mar 6 06:53:25 tail postfix/master[60082]: terminating on signal 15
Mar 6 06:53:28 tail postfix/postfix-script[4760]: starting the Postfix mail
system
Mar 6 06:53:28 tail postfix/master[4761]: fatal: bind 1.2.3.4 port 25: Can't
