are you sure? /bin/mail is a standard unix program. but let's forget.
modify your /etc/mailer.conf to use postfix compatibility sendmail
instead of Sendmail.

Now you have the right to use whatever components you want. but that
complicates troubleshooting.

Where is the output from postmap -q that Viktor told you to run?
<Quoting Viktor>
$ postmap -q theflash.shawneelink.net \
mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtualdomains.cf

produces what results? Has main.cf been changed since
trivial-rewrite started?

so gmail.com is one of your virtual domains. do postmap -q gmail.com
mysql:.... as above but with gmail.com this time.

We will say nothing about you running Sendmail components if you stop
talking about what these components log. Seems fair, no?

postfix thinks gmail.com is one of your virtual domains. try to see why.
do the postmap -q things.

The rcpt domain is considered virtual, so postfix won't send such
messages to the public. so both transport and relayhost don't count.

There is possibly a bug in your mysql table. use postmap -q, and if you
still don't find, run mysql server with debugging enabled and look at
its logs.
