postfix master dead but subsys locked

I tried removing the files on /var/lock/subsys/ and restarted postfix, no error on logs and mail is working but when I check the postfix status it still says "master dead but subsys locked"

2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.i686 

tcp        0      0 *:smtp                      *:*                         LISTEN      21290/master

checking on status:

[root@smtp subsys]# service postfix status
master dead but subsys locked
[root@smtp subsys]#
centos

  1. Please try with stopping or disabling the exim service because postfix can conflict with exim when both software were running.

    #service postfix stop
#rm -rf /var/lock/subsys/postfix
#rm -rf  /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid
#service exim stop
#chkconfig exim off
#service postfix start

    Your postfix will be running without dead.
