UPDATED:

THE SYSTEM HANGS EVERY TIME IS RUN "SYSKLOGD" it is in /etc/cron.daily, but no idea how to fix it...
i deleted gzipped logs on /var/log/ a few days ago... hope that doesn´t matter...

any help would be apprecciated

The virtusertable is not included in your main.cf file. Please add:

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

and restart postfix. Sysklogd is the system logger and I dont think that it is causing your problem.

i didn´t post it but sure it is included...

UPDATED:

I've fixed some hard disk inodes problems with links & log files, so when sysklogd was executed, it tried to access those files crashing the system & hanging postfix.

thk u very much u all
