There's a 'bare' ::1 where [::1] is needed. To find these in main.cf or master.cf: postconf | grep '[^[]::1' postconf -P | grep '[^[]::1' The 'bare' ::1 may also appear in a /file/name that is referenced by mynetworks or by some other Postfix feature. There's no simple grep command for that. Wietse
