ok, I ran that command, and every time I do that command, it adds a 
line in /var/log/mail.err:

Feb 20 14:06:11 PaulsPC postfix/postqueue[16167]: fatal: Cannot flush 
mail queue - mail system is down
PaulsPC:/etc/postfix #              

which is weird, because date shows:
# date
Mon Feb 20 09:08:07 EST 2006

and 

pbc at PaulsPC:/var/mail> l /var/spool/mail
