I wanted to report that I was able to get into my office and reboot the 
machine. The process of relabeling the system took around 45 minutes or so, but 
the issue has gone away (at least for now). I don't know if the problem was 
caused by something during the last (F30->F31) upgrade but that is when I 
noticed that selinux was blocking postfix. Hopefully, it will still work well 
from now on.

Thanks, Samuel!
