I've been posting on this mailer for the past 2 days and I have posted my configuration file as we as my mail log which demonstrates a problem with Postix where it is using network interfaces it shouldn't be using, as per the documentation. This is the first time I have seen you here, so, perhaps you should STFU before telling me to crawl before run and RTFM.
Also, stop thinking Postfix is flawless. You are living in a fantasy land. Lots of pilots thought their autopilot software was flawless, too, only to end up being killed by it.
