Check the output of:

rpm -Va postfix\*

If it shows no output then everything should be fine.  Otherwise the
output will show you what files have had permissions changed (or
anything else changed) since postfix was installed.

I don't think this checks selinux contexts, but it should find any other
permissions issues.

You can fix by re-installing postfix:

yum reinstall postfix\*
