its just inet_interfaces = localhost
RPM is not broken. redhat and fedora by default come configured with
connections to postfix allowed only from localhost. so,

telnet localhost 25 will work
telnet x.x.x.x 25 will not work where x.x.x.x is the IP address

this is the case with ubuntu hoary (debian based) as well
