Question
Postfix ipv4 set up problem
Hi Guys,
I followed the tutorial for installing postfix and have it pretty much running.
However in the mail logs i have
connect to aspmx.l.google.com[2a00:1450:400c:c05::1a]:25: Network is unreachable
reading your documentation you don't support ipv6 so in my /etc/postfix/main.cf I changed inet_interfaces = all to inet_interfaces = ipv4.
Now when I try to restart postfix i get
postfix: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: ipv4
I've been trawling the internet for a day or too but I'm not very knowledgeable on this network stuff and can't find out what to to. I think its probably my /etc/hosts file but I'm not sure what to put in there.
my /etc/hosts file is
127.0.0.1 localhost behappyhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ifconfig outputs the following
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 04:01:09:00:d9:01

I'm grateful for any help
