Doh! I keep thinking of smtp outbound as something that I do. Of
course Postfix has to be able to relay mail too. Sorry for the noise.
smtp_* settings are for smtp(8), the Postfix smtp CLIENT.
smtpd_* settings are for smtpd(8), the Postfix smtp SERVER.
Maybe the first should have been "smtpc_*" for symmetry.
but I want to be able to send email internally.
I do not need to receive on the the internal address.
I am not sure what I want. The smtp_bind_address has been in the config
for ages, possibly added by someone else. I don't mind if Postfix
listens on all interfaces and I can't even imagine a scenario where I
would want to limit outgoing interfaces.
Perhaps you wanted inet_interfaces?
I might if I decide to create two SMTP servers to deal with the issue I
wrote about in "after-queue filter issue". That's on a different system
than the one I was dealing with here.
Thanks to everyone for the clue-by-four.
