I can confirm this behaviour. It is possible to force the local
address to 127.0.0.1 though.
[xi at borg ~]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25 [19:39]
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 borg.borderworlds.dk ESMTP Postfix

[xi at borg ~]$ telnet -s 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 25 [19:40]
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Fortunately this behaviour didn't break anything here, but it does seem
broken nonetheless.
I updated my machine earlier today and got 5.2-BETA:
FreeBSD borg.borderworlds.dk 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #3: Sat Nov 22 13:25:47 CET 2003 root at borg.borderworlds.dk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BORG i386
