Description Chris Gardner 2013-04-13 13:46:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
The parameter "inet_protocols" has a different default value than documented.
The Man page postconf(5) says "inet_protocols = ipv4" but /etc/postfix/main.conf contains "inet_protocols = all".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man 5 postconf |grep inet_protocols
2. grep inet_protocols /etc/postfix/main.cf
  
Actual results:
Man page and actual default setting do not match.

Expected results:
Man page and actual default setting are the same.

Additional info:
Either the man page or the default setting needs to be changed.

This probably affects Fedora too as suggested by bug #863140.
