i restarted postfix and immediately started tail -f'ing the log for
suggested strings..i saw

Apr 10 11:56:30 athena postfix/qmgr[18850]: warning: mail_scan_any: got
EOF; expected: string
Apr 10 11:56:30 athena postfix/qmgr[18850]: warning: private/local:
malformed response

then about 25 unknown mail transport errors from the qmgr process
there's a similar pattern in previous parts of the log

PID 18850's entry is
postfix 18850 0.6 0.3 1264 688 ? S 11:56 0:00 qmgr -l -t fifo
-u
