rpm -e sendmail will clear this error up. I fought with it for a good
half-day before I figured it out. Another little bug to fix is gonna be
chown root.postfix /usr/sbin/sendmail. Anytime you have linuxconf/netconf
configure something, it always sets the group back to root on postfix's
sendmail, disabling the local smtpd.
