Okay, I did:

#  mv /etc/init.d/postfix /etc/init.d/postfix.orig
#  cp postfix.service /etc/systemd
#  systemctl enable postfix
#  systemctl daemon-reload
#  systemctl stop postfix
#  systemctl start postfix
#  systemctl status postfix
* postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled)
   Active: active (exited) since Sun 2017-08-20 11:25:02 CDT; 1min 37s ago
  Process: 524 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 524 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service

And all looks good!

Thanks, Nicolas.
