I can't help but feel I'm being misunderstood. My machine is on a
static public IP address. I used the Networking control panel to
configure it. The Networking control panel improperly formats the
/etc/hosts file causing the /etc/postfix/main.cf file to inherit an
incorrect setting (at least as far as I can tell).
