Yeah, it is down.
As other stated, first you have to enable it, as others already stated:
systemctl  enable  postfix

After a reboot you might get something like

[…]# systemctl status postfix
postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; preset: 
disabled)
                                                              ^^^^^^^
    Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d
             └─10-timeout-abort.conf, 50-keep-warm.conf
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2025-04-29 19:17:41 CEST; 33s 
ago

Now it is enabled to get started during reboot.
If it worked before the system update without enabled, something else must have 
started it or something else deleted the symbolic link which makes it ‚enabled‘.

Additionally, you should get some additional lines like

systemd[1]: Starting postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent...
postfix[1186]: postfix: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface 
found for xx.yy.zz.vv
postfix[1186]: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 
xx.yy.zz.vv
systemd[1]: postfix.service: Control process exited, code=exited, 
status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: postfix.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent.

In this case the external interface is not up when systems starts up postfix. 

And please, could you write a bug report?


Peter
