I had the same issue with Slackintosh 11.0 and postfix 2.4.0.
The makedef script of postfix checks if the current system is running a
2.6 kernel (epoll was not supported on linux < 2.6). If it does,
postfix will build epoll support.
Well: Slackintosh 2.6 uses a 2.6 kernel, but due to stability issues
glibc was compiled using linux 2.4-headers.
Even if your kernel has epoll support, the Slackintosh glibc does not
support it.
There are 2 solutions:
#1 Upgrade to -current. Epoll works fine there
#2 Compile postfix with -DNO_EPOLL
Regards,
Adrian
