Actually, private/local and private/retry refer to the sockets used for
communication between the Postfix master and the various daemons. If you
do 'netstat -l' you should see these and many others 'LISTENING', Do you?

I don't know why a reboot or even just a stop and start of Postfix
doesn't fix this. If you stop and start Postfix, are there any messages
in the mail logs beyond the "postfix/master[pppp]: daemon started ..."
message?
