No, I got it from a package installation of postfix on Debian 9.

So the question I have is how does it all work?  There is no init.d, but
there seems to be some convoluted handling that I haven't figured out yet.
Surely some expert can write a postfix.service file that drives postfix
commands.

Any clues?

Thanks.
