You can add new setting to the yast part; ie, defining
"POSTFIX_ADD_MYORIGIN = ..." in /etc/sysconfig/postfix will make Yast add
a "myorigin = ..." line to postfix's main.cf file. I think this change can
also be made from inside Yast somewhere. Using "POSTFIX_ADD_...whatever"
you can create new settings, for variables Yast did not initially
consider.
Also, just by editing /etc/postfix/main.cf or master.cf files, yast will
refuse to touch them ever again (or SuSEconfig, for that matter). In
/var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/postfix/* it stores the calculated md5 values
of the original files: if they are different from the actual value, it
will leave your files alone.
Meaning, that the instant the admin takes over postfix Yast will not
modify your files and you can forget that danger. This technique
applies to all or most of the configuration files Yast handles. SuSE
has been doing this for years: I have md5 files there dating from 2003
;-)
There are also a few settings common to postfix or sendmail in
"/etc/sysconfig/mail". One of them is "MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG". If you set it
to no, Yast will not even try to create or modify the mail configuration;
but I find easier to let Yast create an initial sensible configuration,
then tailor it to my liking, than starting from scratch.
