dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure)

Ok, I *think* that postfix installed correctly(?):

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  mailutils mysqmail{a} mysqmail-postfix-logger

Postfix configuration was not changed.  If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed.  To view Postfix 
configuration
values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

I replaced /etc/postfix/main.cf with a backup:
