You have too many levels of symbolic links...it's stuck in a loop. I did read on cpanel forum that centos 7.7 has a problem with this https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/ups-177-service-failures-after-centos-7-7-update.659933/

If that is your version and you are on a vps, you might need to look at "Workaround 2"

Note the comment by cpanel themselves...

What services can be fixed using Workaround 2
.
Can Workaround 2 be used for MySQL?

SpamAssassin is used as the example, but the steps are applicable to any service that's failing as a result of this issue.

Thank you."

You have the same error in dovecot, dkim and amavisd...this is more than just a single service issue!

from your logs...

Oct 23 09:29:58 painel.xxx.com.br systemd[1]: Starting DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Milter...
Oct 23 09:29:58 painel.xxx.com.br systemd[1]: Can't open PID file /var/run/opendkim/opendkim.pid (yet?) after start:Too many levels of symbolic links
Can't open PID file /var/run/dovecot/master.pid (yet?) after start: Too many levels of symbolic links
Can't open PID file /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.pid (yet?) after start: Too many levels of symbolic links


try the cpanel fix on dkim,amasvid, and dovecot "...the steps are applicable to any service that's failing as a result of this issue."

the issue doesnt happen on all Centos 6 and 7 systems because it depends on the system that its installed on. if yours is that particualry type of architecture, then you will almost certainly need to consider this fix.

We dont know if your architecture is the same or not...you havent specified so we have to guess on likely reasons.

this is openvz related, with the latest centos 7.7 you need to have update kernel to version 140.1.
Since this is related to openvz containers this can be done only by the server provider on the main node.
VPS & Dedicated server provider with included FREE Managed support for CWP.

*** Don't allow that your server or website is down, choose hosting provider with included expert managed support for your CWP.

That file needs it's permissions checking. Is it writable by postfix?
