Silly question, I know, but have you double-checked to make sure that
Sendmail isn't still enabled? I've read that if you have Sendmail AND
Postfix (I think that's the combo) neither one will work correctly.
Also, IIRC, Sendmail is ON by default in Mandrake, at least in the
"custom" setup that I choose each time. Might want to double-check
this.
