just check whether all the mails are in /var/spool/postfix/incoming.

yes you got this part right.

OpenProtect starts postfix, so check whether postfix is starting in 
your init scripts, if it is a sysv init system (redhat,debian,...), it 
has been taken care for you, if it is not, then you will have to 
remove it manually.
