LINUX PORTABILITY ================= On RedHat Linux 7.0, you must install the db3-devel RPM before you can compile the Postfix source code. LINUX SYSLOGD PERFORMANCE ========================= LINUX syslogd uses synchronous writes by default, which is very expensive. For services such as mail it is recommended that you disable synchronous logfile writes by editing /etc/syslog.conf and by prepending a - to the logfile name: mail.* -/var/log/mail.log Send a "kill -HUP" to the syslogd to make the change effective.
