It looks like postfix believes it should go and use that IP to bind
to.  Could you post "postconf -n"?  Do you have any other error
messages?

"% egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more" is
popular on the postfix lists to grep through for errors.

indicates that postfix things 216.239.113.148 is local to your box,
and to use "inet_interfaces = all" as a simple solution.
