Not working for me

I did everything EXACTLY as in this tutorial. Twice! Everything was perfect. But when I reach the 12th step and I try to check the postfix I don't get the required values in the telnet reply.

root@xxxxx:/usr/local/sbin# telnet localhost 25

250 HELP

There's no "250-STARTTLS" and no "250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN". Next I tried the "postfix reload" command and it said:

postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running

So I tried to launch Postfix manually:

 root@xxxx:/usr/local/sbin# /etc/init.d/postfix start
 * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ]

There are no errors, no warnings etc. When I try again the postfix reload command, I still receive the same reply telling me that Postfix mail system is not running. On "netstat -tap" I get this:

Please help me somehow. What should I check? What am I supposed to do now? I have tried this tutorial two times. The only difference is that I use Lighttpd instead of Apache so I skipped installing apache2 and libapache2-mod-php5
