Postfix is listening on port 10025:

Code: 
root@mxfilter0-1:/usr/share/perl5# netstat -tulpn | grep 25
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10025         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8056/master

But seeing this in mail log:

Code: 
Oct 29 11:44:29 mxfilter0-1 pmg-smtp-filter[5196]: unable to connect to localhost at port 10025 at /usr/share/perl5/PMG/Utils.pm line 214.

Any idea?

on a hunch - does localhost indeed resolve to 127.0.0.1?
* post your '/etc/hosts'
* post the output of `ping -c 3 localhost`

also you could try restarting postfix and pmg-smtp-filter...

I hope this helps

Hmm. From what I see in the code, a connection to 127.0.0.1 is tried.

This issue started occurring after removing the server's public IPv4 address.

Code: 
root@mxfilter0-1:/var/log# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
2a0c:eb00:0:f9:16a:c69:c32:7b5 mxfilter0-0 mxfilter0-0.prorelay.nl

anything in the logs from postfix around the error from pmg-smtp-filter?

This is the full log:

With `-v` specified for the `smtpd` service:

Code: 
Oct 29 13:33:39 mxfilter0-1 postfix/smtpd[31111]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Oct 29 13:33:39 mxfilter0-1 postfix/smtpd[31111]: match_list_match: localhost.localdomain: no match

Oct 29 13:33:42 mxfilter0-1 postfix/smtpd[31111]: connection closed

So for some reason, this is failing:

Code: 
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('127.0.0.1', Port => 10025, Hello => $me);

Managed to reproduce the issue here locally (by removing all ipv4 addresses from my test-setup and running ipv6 only)
could you please open a bug-report over at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com (with the details and referencing this thread) - Thanks!

as a mitigation - configuring (any) ipv4 address on the interface should mitigate this:
Code: 
ip a a 172.16.0.1/32 dev eno1
