Postfix is not running. You have a fatal configuration error in your system. A possible cause is that an invalid hostname is set for Postfix.
Please post the output of "postconf -n" and the master.cf.

Simply search for smtps in your /etc/services.
You could just circumvent the problem by using the port number instead of the service name:

You already have the line available, if you remove the comments. Here you also see the white space at the beginning.
If that doesn't solve the problem try to do it step by step:
Simply comment out the smtps lines and restart Postfix. Does it work now?
Yes it does! I followed all your steps one by one, and finally at the end, by commenting out only the smtps line in master.cf, postfix started and I've got a flood of emails coming in from my backupmx. That did the trick. Is there anything I need to do now to that file, or am I safe to leave it as is with that line commented out?
One more remark concerning your smtp line: You have restricted the smtp port to 10 processes. The reasonable default is 100. Unless you plan to use Amavisd-new as a pre queue filter (content_filter is after queue filter) you should set the default 100. The smtpd process doesn't take a lot of resources. I would definitely recommend it.
On this point, in comparing my old master.cf to the new one, the old one had the value set at only 2. I guess the update changed the value to 10? I do use amavis-new running (since the original setup). What would be a good value to use in this case? Thanks for your good help. I'd have never have solved that on my own. You too Carlos.
