The inet_interfaces parameter is one of the few that requires
a restart rather than a reload when it is changed in order to
change the listener sockets associated with master.cf inet
services.
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#inet_interfaces
So that would be:
# postfix stop
# postfix start
A less invasive change is:
# postconf -e "master_service_disable = inet"
# postfix reload
Because this disables the inet services, rather than attempts to
change the underlying sockets, it does not require a restart, and
the queue manager and outbound deliveries continue without
interruption.
