"Syntax error in Postfix queue file"?

[John Baker]

Hi,

Something seemed to go wrong at some point this week and I keep getting 
this Mailscanner error in my syslog.

Syntax error in Postfix queue file, didn't start with a C record

Running qshape hold gives me this

Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /usr/sbin/qshape line 251.

That section looks like this.

    246 # bucket 0 is the total over all the buckets.
     247 # buckets 1 to $bnum contain the age breakdown.
     248 #
     249 sub bucket {
     250     my ($qt, $now) = @_;
     251     my $m = ($now - $qt) / (60 * $tick);
     252     return 1 if ($m < 1);
     253     my $b = $opts{"l"} ? int($m+1) : 2 + int(log($m) / log(2));
     254     $b < $bnum ? $b : $bnum;
     255 }

I'm not really sure what's happened here. Does anybody have any ideas?

Something is wrong with the ques yet mail actually does seem to be going 
through the server.
