I think you will find you will need to look for nothing as far as
getting a functioning mail service is concerned. Those errors are start
up script errors and nothing else. You should find that Postfix and
MailScanner are working fine. I did run SUSE briefly and fiddled with
the start up script to stop it complaining (Can't remember exactly how
but it was all about the status flags at the end of each start up
command). I would look there first (Checking the mail log to ensure mail
is being passed as I would expect it to be.
