I don't have any experience with postfix but looking at their 
documentation, here is what I would try.

1. In main.cf, set "inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.2, 127.0.0.1"
2. sudo postfix stop
3. sudo postfix -vvv start     #-vvv enables verbose mode.
4. sudo lsof -i :25 -n         #check whether it listens on 192.168.1.2
4. ifconfig | grep 192.168.1.2 #check whether the interface is up
5. check /var/log/maillog      #check for clues to listening on 25

The default file for mail.* syslog messages is usually /var/log/maillog 
but you should check your config ie., /etc/syslog.conf or 
/etc/rsyslog.conf or something similar for "mail.*" line.

If you couldn't get it to work, it will help if you share the postfix 
debug log messages from /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messages (if any).
