Hi everybody,
I have a problem starting postfix on a remote VPS. When I try to start postfix, I get this:
# /etc/init.d/postfix start
Starting postfix: [ OK ]
But when I check if it is running, I get:
# /etc/init.d/postfix status
master is stopped
The problem is that I don't see any error message neither in /var/log/messages nor in /var/log/maillog
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Postfix: master is stopped!

In the VPS I'm working on, Plesk is installed. By default, Plesk Server Administrator (PSA) uses Qmail mail server.
I first stopped Qmail and tried to start postfix but the same problem has occured. I then stopped psa daemon and
still got the same problem. As I said before, what makes it difficult for me to figure out the problem is that nothing is
reported in the logs. Mail log /var/log/maillog is even empty and doesn't contain any line.

Plesk provides a heavily modified version of the OS that is not true CentOS. To better understand please read:

Advice from here might actually break your system. Sounds like a question for your hosting provider or [url=https://www.parallels.com/support/plesk/form/]Plesk Support[/url].
