You can only have one program waiting for connection on one port, 25 for SMTP.
It must be sendmail or postfix, not both.
Only postfix is working with kolab :-)
STOP sendmail and restart postfix
# /kolab/bin/openpkg rc postfix restart

Fetchamil will never make any difference between postfix, or sendmail.
