postfix is an email sending program - a replacement for the normal sendmail.
It is "sendmail compatible" (to some level of compatibility) - sounds 
like it is either misconfigured, or somehow the machine has got both 
sendmail and postfix running and they are in conflict.
(www.postfix.org)

I'd start by trying sendmail from the command line - can it send mail at 
all ?
If not, fix that before doing anything from Rev.

If it can, then try a variant using the same switches as you intend to 
use (may be a problem with mail lists, or multiple addresses, etc. ) and 
then with the same list of addresses.

.... and about then I run out of suggestions :-(
