Hi all!
I finally cracked the problem, but it's driven me crazy. With a working
postfix in potato (postfix 0.0.19991231pl11-1) I updated to woody, and thus,
also to the new postfix (postfix 0.0.20010502.SNAPSHOT-5).

Upon running postfix, it gave out no error messages but did not really
start. Examination of mail.log gave: 
_servername_ postfix/master[12060]: fatal: bind _your_ip_here_ port 25: Address 
already in use

The problem turned out to be that the old version accepted names in the 
inet_interfaces parameter in main.cf, but the new one only accepted dot.
quad ip address notation

Agreed, it is not nice to set names for inet_interfaces, but if it worked in
the old one, it should work in the new one.

So, I don't want anyone going crazy about this like I have. Where do I post
this?
