Hi everybody,

I have my postfix crashed this morning, apparently it didn't start 
anymore after a postfix restart after the log rotation. Here below the 
first logs :

baleine:~# head /var/log/mail.log

Has someone already experienced this ? what could have caused it ?

I use woody and it's the first time I had this crash.

Thanks in advance,
