Install it from the source, do not use the SuSE RPM, especially for 7.3. I don't think it surfaced on this list, but a long mail was sent to SuSE by someone, concerning the ways the SuSE rpm c'fs a Postfix installation. With regard to the SuSE rpm, SuSE is referred to in some quarters as Suse-from-hell. As I said in a previous post I had bad experiences with Suse Postfix install, one case being an adjustment they made to a certain parameter making Postfix consume vast quantities of CPU when there was nothing for it to do. There is also a *very* active and very knowledgable mailing list. Also one of the experts on that list has the best fortune's I have ever seen at the end of his mails :). -- Regards Cliff

I'm just curious, I'm running Postfix on 7.1, just installed it from SuSE provided rpm (it's an update) and see no problem with it.

No strange CPU consumption. Am I falling out of pattern? -Kastus
