The postfix package in Mandrake 7 seems to have some problems after
installation, but the problems tend to clear up if you uninstall and
reinstall the RPM (don't ask me why, but that seems to work).
So you would want to do something like...
rpm -e --nodeps postfix
rpm -ivh postfix-19991231-3mdk.rpm
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix restart
The second command should be done from the RPMS directory of your Mandrake
7.0 CD (or directory tree on your HD if you did an HD install).
