I'm using RH 7.3. My file directory structure and permissions are the same as Samuel's, except that I don't have the "T" option set. Before I set it, though, I'd like to confirm that this is the "sticky bit". In my book, Linux in a Nutshell, the sticky bit is represented by a "t".
Also, my var/spool/postfix directory is owned by root/root. Its permissions are drwxr_xr_x. I wonder whether the owner is OK. I made some other changes and the nature of the problem has changed. I'm now sending mail, but not as I want to. For testing purposes, I want to send the email to myself. When I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I got a "user unknown" error. When I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the attempt was technically successful. However, my intent was to send via the internet to my web host and receive the mail with my Evolution client. Instead, I was only able to get the email by opening a terminal window and typing "mail" at the command line while logged in as user "alan". In /etc/postfix/main.cf, I've got a good relayhost...
