This is interesting, because I have also seen Postfix installed on 
non-modified BX systems (5108R / 5208R).   For instance:

[root at web41 ~]# rpm -qa | grep "postfix"
postfix-2.6.6-6.el6_5.x86_64

This has not caused any conflicts for us as yet, but perhaps we might 
consider removing Postfix by default?
