This is inaccurate. smtpd(8) does not ignore "-o inet_interfaces"
as you can easily verify with the behavior of permit_mynetworks
and other smtpd(8) features that rely on inet_interfaces settings.
However, "-o inet_interfaces" has no effect on the IP address that
smtpd(8) receives connections on because that decision is made by
the master(8) daemon.
