This may be a postfix problem. Last time I rebooted my main system
(which acts as my mail server), port 25 was not open. All mail was
failing to be delivered. 

I assumed that Postfix had not started when I rebooted, so I tried
"postfix start" and received a message that Postfix was already
running. But I instantly started receiving mail. Everything was fin from
that point. I have no idea what really happened and I don't like
re-booting that box, so I have not tried it again.

The box was running 6.1-BETA from March 13 and Postfix 2.2.10 and uses
TLS. The one unusual thing about the system is that it receives mail
from our organizational server via IPv6 only.

Smells a bit like a timing issue in the rc code, but I really am only
guessing.

In any case, it's something to watch for on Current or Stable.
