That depends,

postfix is a mail server...

if you just collect email via evolution or kmail from your ISP's mail server
then no, you don't need postfix running..


however, you can do some really really cool things using postfix, so its
worth reading up on. (postfix.org)

Also, if you run a security level that does checks and emails the results,
then you need postfix to get them I believe.

Frank.

Ps, if you decide to stop it, issue :
service postfix stop

at the command line then use the mandrake control panel to stop it running
on boot.
