It works with my simple usage.  I didn't try the long version that's in
the postin scripts.  I'll admit it now.  I didn't look to see if they
were there.  That's twice now regarding postin and postun scripts that
I've assumed...and both times it's only made me look like ... :-)

I found that (if I remember correctly) cleanup and pickup were two lost
processes that weren't being killed with 'service postfix stop'.  I had
to manually kill them and then postfix started properly.  From my
history:
  839  service postfix start
  840  ps ax
  841  service postfix stop
  842  ps ax
  843  kill 7442 7461
  844  ps ax
  845  service postfix start
