My RPMs are for RedHat / Fedora Core Linux, I doubt they work on SuSE. I think you should try the SuSE rpms. They sell several Cyrus-IMAPd based products so I expect their cyrus* packages to be okay to start with. I don't know about their postfix package but if it's like those from RedHat, it possibly lacks all the mysql/pgsql stuff so you may check the postfix site to learn where to find rpms.
