Dunno. I guess not, because it is not listed in ifconfig output.
However, they tell me that any address in the entire 127 range is valid,
no need to explicitly create the 127.0.0.2 interface.

Yes, that works. And removing the 127.0.0.2 entry also works, which is
what I do.

openSUSE default appears to be:
inet_interfaces = localhost
which should be changed by YaST mail module, when "accept remote SMTP
connection" is ticked.
Let me rephrase this.
If I set «inet_interfaces = all», postfix will work with all the
available interfaces, whatever they are. If I set «inet_interfaces =
$myhostname, localhost», then localhost must translate to an existing
interface(s). And 127.0.0.2 is not a valid interface because... why?
That's the part I'm missing. Maybe because it is not listed here:
Telcontar:~ # ifconfig | grep 127
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
Telcontar:~ #
is that it?
