	I 2-checked that postfix *was* running on ethic.  There is 
	a script.  Firewalls, none insided.  As for "3", I'll check.

	Hmm.   The "inet_interfaces" was set to "= loopback_only"
	for some reason.  Not that keen unless there is some valid
	reason.  I set it to "= all" and restarted.    

	OK. Now I get a "Service unavailable" in maillog:

Jun 19 14:23:09 sage sendmail[3035]: j5JLMsjS003025: j5JLN9jS003035: DSN:

	Any idea what I need to fix now?
