Did you check to see if this user was created or not after the install?

Best thing to do would be to create a user giving him /bin/false as a
shell
and no password. Don't create his home directory and you've got a user
who
can't erase any files if your mail system is cracked.

There's are RPMS for Postfix on its homepage (http://www.postfix.org/)
which might be
more recent than the one on the Powertools CD. There is also a HOWTO on
RedHat's homepage
(http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/mail.html).
HTH.
