Dumb Question #1

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

I’m running my IP through a router. After installation, it appears that postfix won’t start up. I get a message stating that there’s no local interface for my external IP address. My external IP address should not even be making it to my server. Instead, I should be seeing my internal IP.

I’m going to play a bit more tomorrow evening after I’m a bit more rested. But between now and then, if someone has a suggestion, I would not turn it down.

Looking at some of the other mail in this section, I’m beginning to believe I have some issues with DNS. I’ll attempt to take care of those before I yell too loudly about anything else.

See if this helps.

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf

Set inet_interfaces = all

I appreciate the response, but I think I’ve got it now.

I believe some of my issues at that time may have been DNS.
