Color me stupid. It was stopped. It started when I told it to in /etc/init.d. Now I have to wonder what stopped it. Judging from the mail that got through all of a sudden, I guess it stopped about 2 weeks ago. I'll have to watch this...
IIRC updates of the Postfix package that could in result in data loss of queued mail will shutdown Postfix before preceding. Looks like Postfix 2.7.1 hit on Nov 4 and 2.6.7 has been in the system since June. I'd bet you ran the update, Postfix shutdown for safety, and you missed the screen output about restarting it.
