Always in a good mood. It's a waste not to be. When I'm focused on
something I just state the facts as I understand them and sometimes that
doesn't come across well.
Yeah I know localhost can be either that's why I used 127.0.0.1 in the
config and don't/didn't use localhost anywhere, as I later stated.
I errored in my OP by not making that clear and using the word
localhost. But to me localhost is 127.0.0.1, I don't even think about
::1 as far as localhost goes. I know I should. So that is why I can't
understand why ::1:10025 was being used to do the SA connection and I
still need to determine that why.
I got my first computer at home in the late 70's. I cut my teeth on
networking back in '79 on DECNET where Ethernet was a huge thick cable
that you used a tool to drill a hole in and mount a Tap as it was called
to branch off that backbone.
TCP/IP was in it's infancy too at the time. That was over 30 years
before ipv6 was around so localhost was 127.0.0.1 and now to me, oh
yeah, ::1 is too now.

What I am looking for is pretty simple. How to get it to work with
"inet_protocols = all" like my existing server is currently set up to do
and not be limited to ipv4 only.
Well, you seem to be in a good mood. ;-)
And it is already set to use 127.0.0.1 so why it is using [::1] instead
when the old server uses 127.0.01, that is part of the mystery. The
configs are exactly the same yet they operate differently.
Like I wrote, localhost is not the same as 127.0.0.1 or ::1. It is just
a name that your server needs to resolve into an IP address, which is a
possible source of two servers behaving differently. If you explicitly
use IP addresses instead of localhost in your configuration (Postfix,
SpamAssassin, etc., both for binding and connecting), as I suggested,
you can avoid DNS related problems. This technique was old 20 years ago,
but it still works today.
