As the documentation clearly states, the changes you need to make for
Postfix support are these, and only these:
      Run As User = postfix
      Run As Group = postfix
      Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix.in/deferred
      Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming
      MTA = postfix
