You need to learn something about what you're doing.
For one, how did webmin install postfix? If from a tarball, then there's a bunch of stuff to do. If, on the other hand, you'd done it the *right* way, with a yum install, the scripts in the package would have created the user and group postfix.

Webmin as shipped will use Yum on CentOS to handle software management (other than Perl modules). From the way the information is presented by the OP it seems likely that the default method is used in this instance.
The error is this:
postfix: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter mail_owner: unknown user name value: postfix
You are missing the postfix user id in /etc/passwd. If that user id is missing then it is likely that your install procedure did not complete properly. I would suggest using yum remove post followed by yum install postfix issued as the root user from the command line.
