Henry,

Again, have you tried listing the queues to see what error message, if
any it gives you?  How are you delivering mail?  Are you allowing
Postfix to do the delivery or are you using another MDA like procmail or
maildrop?  When I was having problems, I listed the queue and it
indicated that maildrop was erroring out and that turned out to be a
typo in my config file.  Do a postqueue -c /etc/postfix -l and a
postqueue -c /etc/postfix.in -l to see what may be going on.  If the
mail delivery has been deferred it means that the mails are sitting in
the queue for some reason.  Your job is to find out why.  Go over the
logs again and list the mail queue and look for more error messages.

Regards.
