Since I don't use any mailer at home, I have removed postfix and have installed sendmail. This will allow me to see how suse uses sendmail (or modified from original), will also set it up to use my ISP smtp server as a smart host. Nobody will be able tell you what you need to do as each site is different. But at least I will have a better idea of what you need to do.
