That's great!  Yesterday I finally found some time to look at it.

I fixed that, see attched patch.

I found mail delivery not to work, out of the box (using attached
config).

When I start a vm like so:

    sed -e 's,-append ",-append "console=ttyS0 ,' $(./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/examples/postfix.tmpl) > rvm.shn
    sh rvm.sh -nographic -m 2G -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:2222,hostfwd=tcp::10025-:25

it does not work for me; I get

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ telnet localhost 10025
Trying 127.0.0.1...

When I hack around and create /etc/ailases.db, it works.

It looks like most everything is installed in a single, flat directory

    /gnu/store/pyv0rpd6zs0m2i482cb8qxd6mhf5b47z-postfix-minimal-3.4.8

executables, copies of readmes, (unused?) config files (main.cf,
aliases)?

Anyhow, this is a great start; next Mailman?
