I'm not sure if this is a problem with the new install script or what, but
lately this has been reported by multiple people.  The problem is that the
"sendmail" program is still installed, and it's "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
program instead of the Postfix version.  To fix, you just need to remove
sendmail, for example "rpm -e sendmail".

That's because forwarding to a single address is implemented internally to
vPostMaster and doesn't need to call the external program.  When you remove
sendmail, it should just start working.

Thanks,
