I figured out that the value of `hostname` matters: I had hostname
uvt407-5 but when I changed it to uvt-407-5.ruk.cuni.cz for postfix to
work su worked fine except the fact it doesnt exit but is killed by
SIGBUS when I leave the su shell.
Note that I havent set the hostname manually. I get it automagically
from DHCP server.
