OK, since postfix was mentioned earlier as aservice which would need this (binding to interfaces): changing the postfix config from "listen only on localhost" (similar to what sendmail does in it's default config) to "listen on an external network interface" would change it's dependency: in the first case it does not care about external networks (localhost is always available), in the second case it does. How is this supposed to be managed?
