We are here to help you help yourself.
For that we need more information.

These are not helpful at all.
Please gather a few information
1) uid of postfix user
id postfix
2) now stop and start postfix
systemctl stop postfix
systemctl start postfix
Are there any issues in the log?
journalctl _UID=<postfix uid>
Same thing for the cases when it went down.
Do the logs show anything?
