I installed it with apt-get install postfix and then choose "Internet Site"
during the configuration.
i have configured rails to use smtp.
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'localhost',
:port => 25,
:domain => 'www.example.com',
}

Just to eliminate a lot of guesswork: when you say you "installed
postfix" did you do something like "apt-get install postfix" or click on
postfix to install via synaptic, or did you download a tarball from the
internet and build it yourself?
How is rails configured to send the mail - with the sendmail command, or
via an smtp connection to the local host?
