Already checked this. Sendmail was not and is not running.

I have two other RHEL servers running as our email gateways for our production email and in order to set postifix as the default mta, I ran the command 'alternatives --config mta' which produces the following output on these servers:

[root@mx10 root]# alternatives --config mta

There are 2 programs which provide 'mta'.

Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail
+ 2 /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

This clearly shows that postifix is intalled and set as the default mta. When I do the same on the Zimbra test server I get the following output:

[root@zimbra ~]# alternatives --config mta

There are 1 programs which provide 'mta'.

Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

This shows that Redhat has Sendmail set as the default mta and since it is disabled and not running is it possible that Zimbra is asking for the default mta's status and Redhat is returning that it is Sendmail but Sendamil is not running? The program on the Zimbra test server also does not see that Postfix is installed. Is this the source of my problem? If so what do I do to resolve it?
