FYI I haven't updated that handbook in years so it is a bit out of date. I assume you replaced the sendmail daemon as described here? http://ubaight.com/index.php?section=6#SendmailScript I haven't set up an XMail system in awhile, but XMail starts it's version of sendmail automatically and IIRC you should disable the sendmail startup script. Also, be careful when you update your server. In the past updating some mail related packages has re-installed sendmail replacing the XMail sendmail daemon and resetting the sendmail/postfix init scripts to start up.
