[SOLVED] Postfix failing to start.

[bonoboslr]

I am running 5.0.9 clustered and I cannot seem to get zimbra to start as a cluster service. It fails to start up postfix. It looks like it cannot build the main.cf file

Logs are below:

The problem is a bug in the start up script.
The file (even if it is empty) must be present for postfix to start or stop.
A bug has been logged to rectify this.
