[CentOS] Postfix (Roundcube client) sends mail, but not able to receive

[Austin Einter]

telnet ipaddress 25 is not working, looks postfix is not running, but i am
clueless why it does not startup even if i do /etc/init.d/postfix restart.
even if it is not running, how i am able to send mails out using
roundcube....
