I just had to restore a machine from tape (drive died :-/ ). I was
running postfix on it just fine until then. After the recover, I am
now getting these errors:

Jan 30 23:07:05 picard postfix/master[883]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 889 exit status 1

I can accept mail just fine, however sending out just puts them in the
deferred queue. Did I miss something in the restore? Technically I did
a reinstall of the OS and then grabbed all the Postfix (and related)
directories (this was done due to some hardware changes).

{cdhpicard} 11:12pm (~) # postconf -n
alias_database = dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
default_transport = smtp
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
myhostname = picard.completeis.com
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
relay_domains = $mydestination, $virtual_maps
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version)
virtual_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/virtual
{cdhpicard} 11:12pm (~) #

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, installing Postfix on this machine saved us from loosing a major
customer. They have a couple mailing lists that sendmail too hours to
deliver to. Postfix does it in minutes. They were _very_ happy. Of
course, now they can't send it out, so... :)

Thanks!!
