One of the first things I do after the installation of a system is a yum install postfix followed by a yum remove sendmail. No need to deal with alternatives if you don't intend to deal with sendmail anyway.

It is obvious you run both Sendmail and Postfix, ending in trouble. The sendmail binary (which is a symlink) still points to Sendmail, though you seem to have configured Postfix as you system's MTA.
I have been careful to re-map transports and restart postfix after any changes to the config files. The following from maillog may shed some light as to where the problem lies:

Switch to Postfix. Validate by
