I was trying to enable SASL support for Postfix but couldn't get it to work and have now tried to disable it again and although outside mail still seems to be arriving local mail is stuck in the queue.
Postfix -p gives:
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- 0C8EF34FA4 1892 Mon Oct 8 14:02:04 logcheck@mydomain (mail transport unavailable) barry@mydomain
Nothing I've done will shift this. If I restart Postfix I get this in syslog:
postfix/master[9161]: daemon started -- version 2.4.5, configuration etc/postfix
postfix/postfix-script[9182]: refreshing the Postfix mail system
postfix/master[9161]: reload configuration /etc/postfix

postfix/master[9161]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 9198 exit status 1

Some emergency help would be appreciated.
