First, when having a problem with the main configuration of Postfix,
then please do not paste nor attach the main.cf. It is both difficult to
read through and prone to typos. In all the cases print out "postconf
-n". This will make typos quickly obvious.

The problem is that already a process occupies port 25. So run "lsof -i
:25" to see what it is. Maybe it is sendmail and you forgot to do the
mail switch to have postfix in place. Btw. your configuration of postfix
(main.cf[1]) still has it set to be bound to localhost only. Don't see
precisely, just guess what you intend with the named "www.pilottalk.com:25".
