Hi Jake,
I've got the same problem and I would be very interested in all the steps you've done to solve it.

Thanks a lot in advance

I figure it out...

Seems its best practiced... That you run all the package updates before developing on a server :)

I still had to make some changes to the /var/spool/mail directory but for the most part everything 
started working after the updates... Mail and Logs...

P.S. I'm gonna remove my self from this mailing list as NO ONE bothered to reply....
