Hello, In main.cf, the variable inet_interfaces demands an IP address. I say demand, because if I supply the name of the interface, postfix check returns the following error:
> postfix: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: em0 There are two problems with this. 1. The error message says "host not found". This means that "em0" is treated by "postfix check" as if it were a host name. Since the variable inet_interface is asking for a network interface name, the "postfix check" should check whether it corresponds to a network interface, not to a host name. 2. If I supply an IP address, "postfix check" accepts it. However, an IP address is not a network interface, hence the check should fail. I understand that an IP address is what it has been taking for decades, but can we use the name of a network interface without incurring in this error?
