Hello,

/etc/postfix/main.cf had @_some-parameter_@ setting for every "xxxxxxx_directory =" line.
After correcting "xxxxxxxx_directory =" settings per my Tumbleweed machine, postfix appears working correctly.
This mess probably occurred on installing/upgrading postfix: postfix-2.9.6-2.1.x86_64 Sun Mar 10 11:14:39 2013 but the rpm main.cf does not contain "@.............@".
This sounds like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796162 which should be fixed since some time.
I'd guess some older postfix package broke your main.cf. Nevertheless, if you want to be really sure, uninstall postfix, move away /etc/postfix and re-install the postfix package.
