Indeed, there are two options. One is to use a custom fact to report
whether the target machine has Zimbra configured, as Jose suggests. This
is the way to go if Zimbra is outside the scope of what you want to manage
via Puppet.
The other option is to teach the Puppet master whether the target node is
*supposed* to have Zimbra. If you are already managing the Zimbra
configuration via Puppet then the master already has that information, at
some level. You need to make that information available at the point in
your manifests where you declare the properties of the postfix service, and
one way to do that -- by no means the only one -- would be to pull it up
into an Hiera data store.
Either way, given information about whether the target node has or should
have Zimbra, you can declare postfix appropriately. For example,
service { 'postfix':
enable => ! $zimbra_node,
ensure => $zimbra_node ? { true => 'stopped', default => 'running' }
}
