I managed to cheat dpkg slightly, i created a new file called postfix with a hunch that it would go past the error and complete. It did and now I have postfix installed and working :)

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Thank you for your help, I attempted to do a purge as you suggested, however:

dpkg: error processing postfix (--purge):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100

Then i tried: sudo dpkg --force-all --purge postfix
and got the same problem...

I remember trying to install postfix a while ago and might have made a mess of it, I believe it was one of the times apache2 went out of control because of WP and crashed the server so it never completed the installation.
