OK, since postfix was mentioned earlier as aservice which would need this
(binding to interfaces): changing the postfix config from "listen only
on localhost" (similar to what sendmail does in it's default config)
to "listen on an external network interface" would change it's dependency:
in the first case it does not care about external networks (localhost is
always available), in the second case it does.

How is this supposed to be managed?
