Hi Steve,
Thank you for your reply. Maybe I should have been more specific but I 
downloaded a tarball file from a postfix mirror site. The file was called 
postfix-2.1.4.tar.gz and I successully installed postix. The problem I'm 
having is that I want postfix to start during system bootup.

Regards,
Ben
