Hello,

Postfix is a meta-openembedded/meta-networking recipe and postfix has
already a static id defined in
https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/files/static-passwd-meta-networking#n4

You may use this file by adding
  USERADD_GID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-group-meta-networking'
  USERADD_UID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-passwd-meta-networking'
to your configuration

(This is what AB does: 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-autobuilder-helper/tree/config.json#n396)
