The omly glitch is that Yast complains that neither Sendmail nor Postfix are installed, but it's nothing serious.
I've LSB-ized the fake_mta package (http://www.csi.hu/) so that it works with
SuSE. It's basically just a dummy package that provides the
'smtp_daemon' capability. Take the following spec file and run 'rpm
-bb' with it, then install the rpm it creates:
Buildarch: noarch
# Change below if you want to protect something other
# than qmail. For example, for postfix, put qmail in, but leave
# postfix out. Leaving out the MTA you want to protect, will
# let you install the MTA from an rpm---if that is what you want.
Conflicts: sendmail, postfix
Group: Productivity/Networking/Email/Servers
License: GPL
Name: fake_mta
Provides: smtp_daemon
Release: 1LSB
Summary: fake package to protect my MTA
Version: 1
%description
A fake package so that foreign MTAs like sendmail will not be
installed on my system (messing up my non-rpm MTA install). For
example, a system upgrade will install sendmail if it thinks you do
not have an MTA/smtpdaemon installed.
