I have an postfix+mailscanner configuration in which the startup/shutdown of postfix is managed through MailScanner. You could try and issue the command service postfix stop while running the machine and see the results. If you get an ok answer then it's nothing wrong with postfix. You may also want to try an service amavisd (or clamd) stop and see if there is postfix running after this. Anyway, this is a 2c thought.
