Well, it will probably start back up again due to some sort of
systemd dependency.
I do
systemctl mask avahi-daemon.service
and usually add
systemctl mask dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service
as well. ("mask" is the systemd word meaning "disable",
I have no idea what "disable" means to systemd, because
it never seems to disable anything)
surely
systemctl disable httpd.service dovecot.service postfix.service
disableds the 3 services and nothing will start them again
the problem with avahi and friends is that they are not enabled
at all, they are dbus fired up by events which is a misdesign
from the classical unix point of view
