I run a local postfix on my machine, and in 10.3, I had to modify /etc/hostconfig to tell the OS to run postfix upon boot. I upgraded to Tiger today, and it would no longer start upon boot. 10.4 relies on launchd for crond, as well as a bunch of service launching. Stock, postfix is set to run every minute if there are any files in /var/spool/postfix/maildrop. But I like a livelier postfix.
The plist that is configuring postfix under launchd is called org.postfix.master.plist, located in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. You can either run the Property List Editor as root and remove the two ProgramArguments entries for -e and 60, as well as the whole QueueDirectories field, or just use su or sudo and replace the file with this plist:
After this , you can either just restart, or reload the service like so:
