Then nothing is listening to the localhost. Check your postfix
configuration and make sure that the settings are correct, and it is
binding to localhost.

mailx is an individual program and isn't an SMTP server, so doesn't
behave in the same way. You need to check your postfix configuration.

I'll check tomorrow to see if I can replicate this, otherwise I'll
give you some things to try and test.
