...installed Postfix from a tar file?? 

FWIW: I have always installed/updated postfix by compiling the source rpm's
maintained by Simon J. Mudd at:

http://postfix.wl0.org/ftp/official/2.1/SRPMS

The instructions for building Postfix from a source RPM (rpmbuild) can be
found at:

http://postfix.wl0.org/en/building-rpms

The binary RPM that is created from above will contain the postfix init
script you seek when it is installed using rpm -i
