Disclaimer: I know nothing about postfix.  I've never run postfix.
Hell, I'm not even sure I can spell postfix.

That said, my suspicion would be that this setting only dictates what
interface(s) that postfix *listens* on.  Not what interface(s) it sends
mail *out* on.

I could, of course, be completely wrong.  8)
