It's very likely you have a corrupted email queue file that postfix chokes on. It will keep on reporting the queue file over and over until you flush it from the queue. The next steps is to identify which queue file(s) is causing this error then remove them.

Hi again,

postqueue -p lists the queue. But you could look straight at the "hold" queue in the spool directory via console/SSH. By default, the directory is located under /var/spool/postfix/hold. I'll be glad to take a look. Feel free to get in touch.
