Hello list,
Postfix is dying on one of my servers almost nightly. This system is
running CentOS5 with postfix-2.3.3-2.
In the morning (after noticing it died) I try to run `service postfix
stop` and I get a failed start. Running `ps ax | grep postfix` I can
see one process still running for postfix. After killing this, I am
able to run `service postfix start`.
I see a lot of this in my maillog:
