postfix is actually one of those where none of the config is in sysconfig. It is in /etc/postfix/, only to be parsed by postfix. The only thing you typically pass on the command line is the config-dir.
Not exactly.
You configure mail with YaST, which sets some variables in sysconfig, then runs SuSEconfigs which translates those sysconfig settings into the needed variables for postfix, fetchmail, etc.
Yes you *CAN* do it that way, but it only gives a very basic configuration. There is a lot about aliasing, transport, black and white listing, authentication mechanisms, more, more, more. Postfix is very capable and what YaST deals with is a basic 'get it up and running in the straight forward case'. The issues I've had with Postfix have required and 'expert system' to address.
