The exact message is:

* postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/postfix.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2017-08-18 04:51:33 CDT; 2 days ago
   CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service
           |- 1505 /usr/lib/postfix/master
           |- 9515 pickup -l -t unix -u -c
           `-19868 qmgr -l -t unix -u

The contents of the postfix.service file are;

[Unit]
Description=Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Conflicts=sendmail.service exim4.service
ConditionPathExists=/etc/postfix/main.cf

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes

Thanks.
