Manual stopping is also without success:
sudo start-stop-daemon --user postgrey --stop '--retry=TERM/30/KILL/5'
--pidfile /var/run/postgrey.pid
No process in pidfile '/var/run/postgrey.pid' found running; none killed.
Working around that is also no success:

tglase@tglase:~ $ sudo service postgrey stop; echo = $?

tglase@tglase:~ $ sudo cat /var/run/postgrey.pid

The cause appears to be that starting it does not work:
tglase@tglase:~ $ ps ax | fgrep -e postgrey -e 16585
