Postfix doesnot start after Installing .deb package

[Siju George <sgeorge.ml@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I reinstalled Postfix because it showed the error

 /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix.
Starting mail transport agent: Postfixpostsuper: fatal: scan_dir_push:
open directory hold: Permission denied

But after reinstallation also I get the same error

Could someone tell me what to do??

/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg --force-all -i
postfix_2.1.5-0.backports.org.1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 9420 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace postfix 2.1.5-0.backports.org.1 (using

Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix.
Unpacking replacement postfix ...
Setting up postfix (2.1.5-0.backports.org.1) ...

Postfix configuration was not changed.  If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed.  To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

.

thankyou so much

kind regards
