Hey Lenny,

Per this FAQ entry: 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.009.htp

Check the permissions on the file.. make sure they're 0664 (unless 
you're on Debian Sarge, where they suggest 0666.

You may also wish to check the end of the FAQ entry where they have a 
caveat about Postfix if it's not installed in a default location...

Best,
