Listen on all interfaces
Restart postfix, confirm (with netstat) that it's now listening on all interfaces, not just loopback, and test connecting to it from the host.
 
== Setup Thunderbird ==
 
We are far from having a working email server but at this point we have enough to be able to test it with Thunderbird.
 
The process is a little challenging because Thunderbird tries really hard to prevent you from connecting to a server that doesn't work (and ours mostly doesn't work at this point). Set it up to connect to your IP address (192.168.X.3) for both IMAP and SMTP. Use no encryption, and normal password authentication for IMAP (we don't have an IMAP server running yet, but that's ok).

Thunderbird won't let you proceed with the "Done" button because you will fail to connect to IMAP. Use the "Advanced config" button to bypass that check.
