Hopefully by now you'll have read my other message, where I mention that no
matter who connects to me, postfix makes a note in the syslog that the
connect was from "unknown" - even for machines that I *know* it should know
the name of (any thoughts there?). It turned out that the default
installation of Postfix within ML 9.0 has a main.cf configuration item of
inet_interfaces = localhost
set. So telnetting from the local box to itself on port 25 worked, but any
attempt to connect to the actual network card at the eth0 interface got
rejected because postfix simply wasn't listening there.
