I'd counsel looking into the postmaster log file.  The described symptoms
sound like the postmaster is failing to start when given this setting,
and the log should offer some clue as to why.

I think we've seen similar reports that eventually traced to local DNS
misconfiguration, but that's theorizing in advance of the evidence.
