Your "second" instance is bound to 192.168.0.11 port 5871, NOT
192.168.1.12:2526. If you were to telnet to 192.168.0.11 port 5871,
then the master should create a postscreen process.
Your "first" instance is bound to 192.168.1.11 port 2525. You
recently made a connection to that address and port, and the master
has created a postscreen process with that address and port.
As for your configuration exceeding the 40kbyte limit, I suspect
that is caused by the -o override parameters that you added to the
postscreen daemon that do absolutely nothing, like smtp_bind_address.
