I am trying to get postfix going on a friends VPS however after installing on startup i see this
Jan 27 11:15:13 postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Jan 27 11:15:13 postfix/master[28090]: fatal: pipe: Cannot allocate memory
and a top gives

Hi
Have you checked /etc/hosts to see if it is correct?

You are out of open files on the system. Or out of available sockets.
# uname -i Linux 2.6.18-028stab059.6 #1 SMP Fri Nov 14 14:01:22 MSK 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
That sounds like a good idea. stab your vps provider, because your system seems to be very limited regarding the number of files and/or sockets you can open.

That's not a CentOS kernel.
# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final)

This is not CentOS 5.2, this is an OpenVZ kernel. You should contact the vendor with this problem, I'm sure it's related to it being a "VPS".
