Hi,
I am trying to get postfix and pine working together using the postfix
rpm that comes with severn and Mike Harris's pine rpm. I can send a message
from the command line just fine but if I try to use pine it will not send.
I get the following in the logs:

Google says that sendmail and postdrop binaries are from different postfix versions
but I rm'd the postfix rpm and reinstalled it. My pine config file is the same one
I have been using for a couple of years. It works fine on 8.0.
Anyone else tried this??
Yes, I've seen this behavior - and my current workarround is to use
'smtp-server=localhost' instead of 'smtp-server=' - which uses
/usr/sbin/sendmail
Also I remove the sendmail package - thus /usr/sbin/sendmail belongs
to postfix..
