When I try and send mail I see this in the maillog:
Sep 6 11:59:48 postfix/sendmail[11059]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: Permission denied
But /etc/postfix/main.cf is world readable:
$ ls -l /etc/postfix/main.cf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 27176 Jun 9 2014 /etc/postfix/main.cf

How are you trying to send mail? Is it by chance through a web based application?
If so, you may need to set the SELinux boolean httpd_can_sendmail.
Otherwsie, check/restore default SELinux labelling for /etc/postfix/main.cf

No just testing from the command line with mail. But I will need to be able to send mail from a PHP app.

OK - I just did that - thanks!

That looks correct:
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:postfix_etc_t:s0 /etc/postfix/main.cf

Any logs?

Check the output of:
rpm -Va postfix*
If it shows no output then everything should be fine. Otherwise the output will show you what files have had permissions changed (or anything else changed) since postfix was installed.
I don't think this checks selinux contexts, but it should find any other permissions issues.
You can fix by re-installing postfix:
yum reinstall postfix*

I did that anyway, and it working now. Thanks!
