I believe what everyone is trying to say....

disable your postfix init script.  (chkconfig postfix off).
I appears your boot scripts are starting postfix before mailscanner, which needs to start postfix on its own.
That is why the start fails and the restart works.

Nothing is in mail log, it just doesnt even start. I can turn debug on, but thats only to scan a batch and quit; which does me no good if it doesnt start.
