Rebooted mail server and now I get the following errors:

Mar 25 17:29:23 pc1 postfix/smtp[2779]: connect to localhost[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused (port 10024) Mar 25 17:29:23 pc1 postfix/smtp[2779]: F410CC7B074: to=, relay=none, delay=0, status=deferred (connect to localhost[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused)

What I don't understand is I am receiving mail to the server from outside but it is being refused by localhost. It is just sitting in the queue. What makes the localhost "refuse" to accept mail as I thought that part was handled by procmail.

This looks as if you configured your system to use amavisd-new to scan your mails for spam and virii. Please check if amavisd is up, spamd is up, antivir is up etc. In any case, Postfix accepts the mail on port 25, then submits the mail via localhost:10024 to the contentfilter, but that filter does not react.

That was the problem amavis was not running. for some reason I had to install a new perl module to get it to start. All is Ok now.
