I have been trying to send emails throw Linux using

echo "hi abhijeet2" | mailx -v Admin [email protected]

Whic works fine on other linux system ,but not working my system. I have tried to troubleshoot it.When i do

service postfix status

It shows : master dead but pid file exists

I have tried many post suggested.But could't reslove this issue.

My mail log looks like :
