As has been pointed out, it sounds like you don't have postfix running.
Can you do this:

    $ telnet localhost smtp

For me, this happens:

    $ telnet localhost smtp
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 snafu ESMTP Postfix
    quit
    221 Bye

If not, try to start postfix and look in the logs for any errors.
