Note that while telnetting to localhost works, telnetting to 127.0.0.1 doesn't:
$ telnet localhost 10023 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ^]q telnet> q Connection closed. $ telnet 127.0.0.1 10023 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused In case this is useful: $ grep localhost /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback Attempts to force postgrey to listen on IPv4 by running postgrey --inet=127.0.0.1:10023 fail -- netstat also shows only the tcp6 line listening on ::1:10023, telnet to 127.0.0.1 continues to report Connection refused.
