Re: [MASSMAIL]Cannot connect to postgresql on port 5432

It also possible to change the '*' to the ip-address of your NIC.
Or use a comma separated list for all ip-addresses you want to allow. 

listen_addresses='<your_ip_address>, 127.0.0.1'

pg_hba is only used for client-addresses and connection types...
