[opensuse] postfix config file constantly being reset, probably during updates and patches via zypper, how to protect postfix config?

19 May 2015

      Hello,

from time to time I observed in the recent years that somewhen my
small postfix mailserver stopped functioning and delivering to a
simple external smarthost ip address for a single domain. Very simple
setup.

At these times I observed that the postfix config file main.cf had a
rather current date and settings like networking interfaces postfix
would listen on, smarthost ip address and domain name and such were
missing from it.

I was kind of thinking to directly edit this main.cf file and put my
stuff in there, but meanwhile I wonder if suse has a different
approach and where to put my config stuff that during updates and
patches even with rewriting main.cf file by some suse mechanism, the
proper info gets put in and stays in.

Thanks for any hints.
