Yes, actually.

So you/we can see it's "sendmail" it is running.
Stop it and try restart "postfix"

Code:

# service sendmail stop

# service postfix restart

Wow, that was easy! THANK YOU! + do you possibly know about the PostFixAdmin?

http://example.com/PostFixAdmin -> I've followed these instructions http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(ve):I..._Postfix_Admin upto where i should see a setup.php page at http://mydomain.co.uk/PostFixAdmin/setup.php

All i get is a blank (white) page - no errors or anything

THANK YOU + Hope you can advise accordingly to this :)

Hi,

I'm glad it worked out.
If you feel that this is solved, could you mark the thread as solved (you can read my signature about how) ?

And regarding your following question, well, I could say I do, but I have never done it myself.

It would be better for you to start new thread with the question and link to this thread.
