I'm not an expert on this, but your machine ID's with 'vpostmaster' in
the greeting, so that means it is pretty tightly integrated, if not in
fact a front-end. So I would go through your vpostmaster settings. You
may have specified something as seconds when it is meant to be
hundredths, etc...

It means that the mail_name parameter is set in /etc/postfix/main.cf
See:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mail_name
I am extensively familiar with my main.cf file and am aware of exactly
what changes have been made. This mail server has been running stably
for years and I am not yet aware of changes to the mail configuration
files surrounding the time when this problem came up.
There are quite a number of mailserver packages out their that use
postfix as the MTA. I'm extensively familiar with the architectures of
both the postfix and vpostmaster systems and I assure you that there is
no front end. The port 25 service on my mailserver is the postfix
smtpd. Vpostmaster, is simply a policy and transport agent with spam
management and a web based GUI for management. It's quite nice and I
highly recommend it to people.
