Postfix startup issues



My postfix install will not start.  My mail logs are full of these:

"fatal: open lock files pid/master.pid: unable to set exclusive lock: Resource temporarily unavailable"

I have Googled this with no clear answer as to the root of the problem.  I have tried deleting the master.pid file, stoping,
starting and reloading postfix, disbled watchdog entries for Postfix and rebooted the system.

The GUI shows mail running and stoping and starting mail from the GUI is not reflected in the logs.

During my efforts I have had this error replaced with:

"fatal: bind INADDR_ANY port 25: Address already in use"

The only obvious source of this to me was perhaps sendmail but I double checked and it is not running on my system.

Otherwise I have postfix running fine on this system.  FYI I am also running amavis (clamav / spamassassin) on this system.
