[OpenIndiana-discuss] Help needed starting postfix as a service - maintenance state

Hello!

Yesterday i moved from CSWpostfix to the OI version.

"postfix start" and "postfix stop" works in my zone (as root), no errors 
with "postfix check",
but "svcadm enable postfix" results in maintenance state because of:

Jan 23 07:45:37 mail postfix/postfix-script[23386]: [ID 947731 
mail.crit] fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running
Jan 23 07:45:38 mail postfix/postfix-script[23392]: [ID 947731 
mail.crit] fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running
Jan 23 07:45:39 mail postfix/postfix-script[23398]: [ID 947731 
mail.crit] fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running

Disabling, and re-enabling does not help, the reboot of the zone doesn't 
help either.

Groups for role 'root' are:

#groups
root other bin sys adm uucp mail tty lp nuucp daemon postfix

Any hints are welcome to get the service running..

Thanks!

Stephan
