Then you have to be more specific.

>>What machine reports the problem?
My linux machine that's running Postfix reports this problem.

>>What is the complete message in the maillogfile?
>>>>>>>>Feb 13 09:50:20 linux postfix/master[2626]: fatal: parameter
inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 67.160.40.22
My inet_interfaces in my main.cf is commented out. Also this is the
error that comes in my root account and my ryan email account
>>>>>>>>< <mailto:>>: Name service
error for name=localhost type=A: Host not found

>>What machine is running Postfix?
linux.myrealdomain.com is the name of the machine
it sits on 192.168.0.101 and 67.160.40.22 on port 25

>>What machine is the client?
A windows box that sits on 192.168.0.106 sending mail using the full
name qualifier (ex. ) this machine is used for
testing purposes.

Could this be that my hosts file is wrong?
it's currently this
>>127.0.0.1 localhost
>>127.0.0.2 linux.theknopps.com linux

Thanks for your help
Ryan Knopp

Should I be adding my real internet IP and my local network ip also?
