postfix-script[1908]: fatal: mail system startup failed

Hi all,

On a VM migration (Proxmox -LXC) this particular VM doesn't seem to be able to start Postfix. All I'm getting is :

Dec 27 21:45:53 postfix/master[1906]: fatal: daemon initialization failure Dec 27 21:45:54 postfix/postfix-script[1908]: fatal: mail system startup failed

I've spend the couple of hours trying to read forums and follow various things but I gave up. It doesn't start Postfix at all and only the above are in logs.

Any help is very much appreciated.

System is running Debian 9

postconf output:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases allow_percent_hack = no append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes compatibility_level = 2 home_mailbox = Maildir/ inet_protocols = all mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mynetworks_style = subnet myorigin = /etc/mailname recipient_delimiter = + sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/bcc smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023 smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Thanks
