You can add "postfix_enable=no" to your /cw/etc/rc.conf. This
achieves the same effect than removing the whole rc.postfix file.

Hmmm.. no, main.cf and master.cf are _not_ overriden AFAIK. They are
tagged as %config in the postfix.spec and so are preserved. Usually
(except we have an error in our packaging) all files which the user is
intended to change under <prefix>/etc/*/ are marked as %config. So their
contents is never lost.
