What did you try?   Did you read the man page and or visit the postfix site?
See http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

IIRC the last time I set up postfix I added a real account to the root
alias at the end of
/etc/postfix/aliases,  ran 'newaliases', and inserted
  mynetworks_style = host
  relayhost = [my outgoing smtp server name here]
into /etc/postfix/main.cf
and reloaded postfix

perhaps you missed the aliases step?  It won't start without a valid root alias
