Agreed.

But I could not figure out how to do SSL or TLS in
/etc/sysconfig/postfix.

In your /etc/sysconfig/postfix - you should see some settings like this:

# Enable SMTP-AUTH for the postfix smtp client
# you have to edit /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd and call
# SuSEconfig -module postfix afterwards
POSTFIX_SMTP_AUTH=no

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
## Config: postfix
#
# Do you want to enable postfix smtp client to use TLS
#
POSTFIX_SMTP_TLS_CLIENT="no"

## Type: string
## Default: "/etc/postfix/ssl"
## Config: postfix
#
# path to the directory where the CA can be found
#
POSTFIX_SSL_PATH="/etc/postfix/ssl"

etc, etc

These should be the options for configuring auth and TLS. Sorry I'm not
much more help... I've done a million and one postfix setups on debian
and slack based distros - but it looks like postfix on opensuse has
gotten a little wacky with its yast integration and other cruft.
