Hello,

new here.


Situation:

When configuring the network in YaST, ifup method (openSUSE Linux), it
may create an entry like this in /etc/hosts (the very last line):

127.0.0.1      localhost
192.168.1.2    some_host.some_domain some_host
127.0.0.2      some_host.some_domain some_host


The /etc/postfix/main.cf contains this entry:

inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost



This combination produces this error in the mail log, repeatedly:

> <2.2> 2013-06-09 20:02:43 Telcontar postfix 13109 - -  fatal:
> parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 127.0.0.2 
> <2.2> 2013-06-09 20:02:44 Telcontar postfix 13112 - -  fatal:
> parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 127.0.0.2 
> <2.2> 2013-06-09 20:02:45 Telcontar postfix 13117 - -  fatal:
> parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 127.0.0.2


People have requested that YaST behaviour be changed, several years ago:

<https://features.opensuse.org/308824>
<https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?&id=824141>


with several bugzillas opened, none solved. I have reopened the issue.
I got replies that this is not an openSUSE fault, but a postfix fault:

<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-06/msg00272.html>


Are they right, is this a postfix bug? I'd like an answer (a
categorical answer if possible) so that I can point them to it, or
drop the issue if it is postfix fault. Or neither, a misconfiguration
on my side (no, the /etc/hosts file would not be my fault, that's the
contended openSUSE bug).

Thanks :-)
