Yes. The same goes for mysql and postgresql, they should be started long 
before the others like snort, samba, etc.

I have the same problem when trying to send mail using pine. Now I use
evolution to send mail (configured as SMTP: localhost, not sendmail) and
it works. I also think that the problem is sendmail related because if I
configure evolution to use sendmail, it doesn't work either.

I actually do use /bin/mail and I believe the files that it create in /tmp
are never this long ... looks like a file which you put in mail queue.

Can you please try to use interactive mode (if you can't handle it set the
visual editor to vi or something) and see if you can create a file in /tmp,
and then after you are done assuming htat you are using vi press wq and then
a plain dot (.) to send the mail.

If you can create the initial mail body in /tmp, but when you send it says
that there is an error it probably mean that the mailx package is not to
blame.

Copy with preserve attributes works ok, but i didn't copy like a whole HD
or anything only about 20megs. Are you loosing outbound mail too, or are
you not the same person i asked for an strace from about the tmp dir?

Yup..
I (personaly) erase them both, and the reinstall the one i want. You
should be able to use sendmail _with_ postfix, but well that head ache is
