2.3.3, but the status of the postfix service (chkconfig --list postfix)
changes to off. So after a reboot, it doesn't start automatically. 
I don't recall this ever happening before. Is this by design? A
packaging error? 
>>I did not see any chkconfig off in the rpm script...
  $ rpm -q --scripts postfix | grep chkconfig
  /sbin/chkconfig --add postfix
      /sbin/chkconfig --del postfix

I would expect the last line to be called when you uninstall, not when you update...

Maybe it could be the "alternatives ...--initscript postfix"?
