Translation: some command was running as a POSTFIX CHILD process,
and that command terminated with status 70.

This exit status is defined in /usr/include/sysexits.h as:

    #define EX_SOFTWARE 70 /* internal software error */

Hence, the "Diagnostic-Code: x-unix; internal software error"
in the notification quoted above.

Before making changes, be sure to understand their consequences.
