BTW "postconf sendmail_path" is enough. No need for grep here.

The "postfix" user (or "postconf mail_owner" to be precise) should
not have a $HOME nor a valid $SHELL. This was probably incorrectly
installed. See:

This could be ugly. Installation from source, even correctly done,
interferes with OS features like this "alternatives" thing. It is
well worth your while to spend some time learning how properly to
manage your OS before undertaking mail admin.
With Redhat-based systems, I suggest using Simon Mudd's SRPMs for a
recent Postfix release.
As to how to repair the damage, that would be a matter for your
CentOS documentation and forums. Good luck.
