All well, or should I do a yum remove postfix and then your commands?
What kind of email is it sending? Email accepted via smtp? What about system generated mail? Check that the symlinks are not still pointing to qmail. ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail, ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail. If both these are pointing to something under /etc/alternatives then check those symlinks in /etc/alternatives. (mta-mailq, mta, mta-sendmail, etc)
