Thank you for your reply. Maybe I should have been more specific but I downloaded a tarball file from a postfix mirror site. The file was called postfix-2.1.4.tar.gz and I successully installed postix. The problem I'm having is that I want postfix to start during system bootup.
Regards, Ben

...installed Postfix from a tar file??
FWIW: I have always installed/updated postfix by compiling the source rpm's maintained by Simon J. Mudd at:
http://postfix.wl0.org/ftp/official/2.1/SRPMS
The instructions for building Postfix from a source RPM (rpmbuild) can be found at:
http://postfix.wl0.org/en/building-rpms
The binary RPM that is created from above will contain the postfix init script you seek when it is installed using rpm -i
