What does "postmulti -l" report? On systems where multi-instance support is correctly configured "postfix stop" stops all enabled instances and "postfix start" starts all enabled instances. Perhaps you managed to stop just the default instance, and the secondary is still running. In that case you should be able to stop it with "postmulti -i immt stop", and then after also stopping the default instance "postfix start" should start both. -- Viktor.
