  Just found the fix that my `postfix` was not running.
  
  I had to do a `sudo postfix start` which resulted in a number of warnings with final output
  
  `postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system`
  
  After this I retried running the civibuild install
  
  `civibuild install "civiwpbuild" --url "http://localhost:4000" --admin-pass "XXXXXXXXXX"`
  
  and it worked.
