Hello Sam, a friend of mine tried the same, one of the problems he encountered was the: Requires(Post): /sbin/chkconfig chkconfig is available on SuSE as well, but rpm-3.xx does not know how to handle the Requires(Post)-tag. It's a pity, as I recommend courier to every of my friends wanting to build a "mail server" instead of fiddling with the combination of postfix, cyrus-imap, sieve and openldap. I tell them download the stuff, create your rpm-settings, run rpm(build) -tb courier* and you are done. But the first thing this guy (who is running SuSE despite my advice) ran into was the to-new SPEC-file.
