You didn't mention this one in earlier email. To resolve,
examine the output from:

    postconf inet_interfaces

> >>>>>>>>< <mailto:>>: Name service
> error for name=localhost type=A: Host not found

What is this? Is this a reply from the Postfix SMTP server while
Postfix RECEIVES mail? Is this in an email message that Postfix
returns to the sender when it is unable to DELIVER mail?
