Steven, Thanks for finding this out and posting it. It saved me lots of searching.
I am using 2.2rc3 and needed to use a smarthost for relaying smtp traffic out. I found that putting the smarthost in the web interface and saving did nothing. After hitting the Save button, the fields were blanked and nothing was changed. putting relayhost=mail.smarthost.com in /etc/postfix/main.cf did work, but then get overwritten with every save. I found that adding the same line to main.cf.tmpl ensured that the relayhost would survive a save/restart of the SMTP proxy.
