Your config as installed should be able to handle sending mail and local
delivery. I postfix running? Like sendmail it can send mail from a
command line but has to be listening on port 25 to handle local delivery.
Since you are getting a connection failure, that is my best first guess.
Use "ps ax | grep postfix" to see if it is running. If not, as root do
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix start"
