[afnog] RE : Postfix problem

[tracy musaza]

Hello Ahmed,
   
  can U telnet your localhost to port 25 !
   
  if yes,
   
  check  your   master.cf   file for a good transportation of your MTA.

    Hi all,
   
  We have a problem with our email server. We are running Postfix version 2.3.3 as our MTA With Squirrelmail (MUA) and Dovecot IMAP> The service was running fine, until 2 days ago when mails sent refused to go and could not receive any. When ever we send mails it gives the error "Connection refused server replied: 111 Can't open SMTP stream"
We thought the required port (25) was blocked, but it was not.  Whenever we start the service using /etc/init.d/postfix start, it does not report any error. However, when we issue the relod command, we get the following:  "Postfix/postfix-scripts:  fatal: the postfix mail system is not running".

This is the log message i got from the server
