Please help - Plesk: Starting Mail Server... failed

[SkriS]

Hi,

Postfix stopped working on a Centos 6 box with 10.4.4.
/var/log/maillog is empty.

Before this the server was up for weeks and no changes were made to the postfix since months.
I noticed that smtp is down since 10.4.4 Update #50 so perhaps an automatic update changed something so that postfix can't start.


Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

Hmm...if there's nothing in the maillog, how about /var/log/messages to see if there's a specific error preventing postfix from starting?
