interesting.. I have 2 command windows open, one testing sending mail 
from the "mail" command, the other editing the main.cf file. All I had 
to do was ":w" the file and it changed my errors, and your command 
fails:
# postfix reload
postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running

under system services it shows 
postfix Yes*

and:
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
Reload mail service (Postfix)    
#

and I got no error sending mail from the commandline, but the mail 
never got there, and I got no error mail in return.. guess it went 
to /dev/null..
