Message-Id: <user-ca06042306f5@xymon.invalid>

setting inet_protocols from "all" to "ipv4" did the trick.
inet_interfaces is "localhost". But my postfix main.cf file had a modification date of 2010-09-29? 
Itis probably in the /etc/hosts file - that is where postfix looks for
the host name - main.cf probably had localhost for the inet_interfaces
parameter and no corresponding entry in the hosts file.

    Noticed in logs messages (ESC on boot) that postfix is failing
    every time I boot. Only error I find in logs is:

and ends with

   i solved this by setting in /etc/postfix/main.cf

   inet_protocols = ipv4
   inet_interfaces = all


Does that help ?
