title: 'Enable Postfix Service'

description: |-
    The Postfix mail transfer agent is used for local mail delivery
    within the system. The default configuration only listens for connections to
    the default SMTP port (port 25) on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1).  It is
    recommended to leave this service enabled for local mail delivery.
    <chkconfig-service-macro enable="true" service="postfix" />

rationale: |-
    Local mail delivery is essential to some system maintenance and
    notification tasks.
