After a planned reboot this morning xymon is no longer able to send alert messages The alert logfile is filled with the following messages:
"send-mail: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for ::1 send-mail: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for ::1"
Sending messages from the command line using sendemail.sh works.
Operating system is openSuSe 11.3, x86_64, xymon version is 4.3.5, According to yast2 IPv6 is disabled.
Any hints?

Not really a Xymon issue. Doing a google with that error message, the first hit is

Noticed in logs messages (ESC on boot) that postfix is failing
every time I boot. Only error I find in logs is:

and ends with
i solved this by setting in /etc/postfix/main.cf
inet_protocols = ipv4 inet_interfaces = all
Does that help ?

setting inet_protocols from "all" to "ipv4" did the trick. inet_interfaces is "localhost". But my postfix main.cf file had a modification date of 2010-09-29?
Thanks again.

Itis probably in the /etc/hosts file - that is where postfix looks for the host name - main.cf probably had localhost for the inet_interfaces parameter and no corresponding entry in the hosts file.

Hi Phil,
Von: ...

Yes, /etc/hosts contains "::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback", but its modification date is from 2011-05-27. This server is rebooted once a week, so postfix should have complained earlier ...
