If you have had similar problems, you can try out this.
Step 1: Update the hostconfig file.
Add the following line to /etc/hostconfig
MAILSERVER=-YES-

Step 2: Update variable myhostname in the file /etc/postfix/main.cf
Set the variable to your hostname, you might need to uncomment the default value.

Step 3: Find your php.ini file and update the sendmail_path and make it
/your/path/sendmail -t -i

Now open another terminal window and do a tail on the log file to see if you have any further errors.
tail -f /var/log/mail.log

You can start the server by running the following command:

sudo postfix start

The above changes worked for me, however you might need to investigate this a little more if you still have trouble.
