In 7.1 there's a postmaster switch to bind only to one specific IP
address, rather than all addresses of the machine. See the docs.

Thanx, you know about 7.0.2 also ? I didnt find anything, but I have a
server here that is bind somehow (maybe its sourcehacked)

Must be; we had no such ability in 7.0.*.

The binding patch came from uunet. Maybe you got their sources.
