it's probably in /usr/sbin - which is most likely not in your path
unless you're root.  try /usr/sbin/postconf -n or try running it as
root.

procmail is default LDA with mandrake i think. it's very picky about
permissions. change the permissions on your .procmailrc and all your
other procmail files so that they're not world readable.

it's better to post specific log segments. ie try to send a message in
mutt and see if anything's logged; then grep for a particular queue ID
relating to that message.

do you have sendmail set to anything in your .muttrc?

the default is "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"

that should work ok with postfix - works ok on my machine anyway.

grep sendmail .muttrc (or whatever your mutt config file is)
if it's not there, what happens when you do:

echo test | /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi recipient ?
are there any errors to the command line?

what are the logs that ONE command generates in your mail logs?
