Do a ps aux |grep postfix ... If you see a process called master , then 
it's running. Otherwise , do a tail -f /var/log/maillog and , with it 
running , do a service postfix restart. You'll see on maillog all the 
errors that are preventing you from running postfix..
Also , you can do a cat /var/mail/username to see if a message sent to 
an user called username really got through..
