/etc/postfix/main.cf -> inet_interfaces

That option should be inactive. The default behavior of postfix is to
listen to all available interfaces.

You may check the current state with 'netstat -pln | grep 25'. If the IP
you see there is 0.0.0.0 then Postfix is listening to all interfaces.

Or you may just run fetchmail. If Postfix isn't listening to the loopback
device it would return an error.
