Can you try updating to the current version? Since 1.2.10 where some fixes regarding the postfix status.

Can't believe (well I can actually) what an idiot I am. I must have blindly copied a download link from somewhere and thought I was installing the latest version. Dangerous thing to do!

Anyway....

EDIT: I can run the postconf command manually, can't see any errors in any logs

I had a look in the sfversion.php file and it appears this is what it tries to run (below is me running the command manually). I can't see any errors that might suggest php can't run exec(); which postconf /usr/sbin/postconf_ /usr/sbin/postconf -d | grep 'mail_version =' | cut -d' ' -f3 3.5.9
