How to change ip address on Fedora part two

After changing my ip I had problems with postfix.

I didn’t receive any emails also restarting posfix failed.

Quick look at the logs and:

# tail /var/log/maillog

May 12 00:44:00 localhost postfix/pickup[26006]: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 83.17.243.138
May 12 00:44:01 localhost postfix/master[2510]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup pid 26006 exit status 1
May 12 00:44:01 localhost postfix/master[2510]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup: bad command startup — throttling
May 12 00:44:11 localhost master[2413]: process 25903 exited, status 0

 

Seems to be that my old ip is in use!

It might be that some setting was defined in hosts

# vim /etc/hosts

and there it is:

83.17.243.138  mauser.com.pl

 

only one hash more and seems to be all right now :) So lets try to restart postfix


# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Shutting down postfix:                              [  OK  ]
Starting postfix:                                          [  OK  ]

 

 

Fixed.
