Well you need to take it out of your start up scripts. I'm not sure how to go about doing that for your particular distro, but if you're by chance a gentoo user: rc-update del postfix default

For Red Hat and FC 1 run:

redhat-config-services

For FC 2 and 3 it's

system-config-services

For Mandrake, look in the Mandrake Control Center. In SuSE look in Yast under System-Runlevel Editor.
With the different Debian based distros, it could be millions of ways...

in suse i think you can go to :

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/

and
remove the line with the postfix inside.

in Debian, you can remove the startup-symlinks in the runlevels:
for ex.

Code:

sudo rm -v /etc/rc*/S[0-9][0-9]postfix

Code:

removing `/etc/rc2.d/S20postfix'
removing `/etc/rc3.d/S20postfix'
removing `/etc/rc4.d/S20postfix'
removing `/etc/rc5.d/S20postfix'
