Had forgotten just how professional and fully sorted, Suse Linux was at

OK for those who don’t know how to look beneath the surface, I guess.

I administered Suse boxes for a client for a few years (and ran it
myself), until we both switched to Debian. Suse was famous for its “YaST”
install/configuration system. Yes, it did make things easy-point-and-click
in many ways. But the cost was that its system of pluggable modules got
their sticky little fingers into every corner of your Linux system.

Luckily, YaST was indeed modular. I soon found the module that kept
rewriting the Postfix config, and disabled it, so that we could run a more
tailored setup for the main mail server.
