Bug Description

Landscape charm should configure postfix to process only local mail.

Postfix configuration /etc/postfix/main.cf should include line `inet_interfaces = loopback-only` instead of `inet_interfaces = all`.

CIS hardening rule "Ensure mail transfer agent is configured for local-only mode" explains this requirement:

"Mail Transfer Agents (MTA), such as sendmail and Postfix, are used to listen for incoming
mail and transfer the messages to the appropriate user or mail server. If the system is not
intended to be a mail server, it is recommended that the MTA be configured to only process
local mail."
