*cut out rage about linux*
Well, I got a bit further: When listing mailq postfix complains about
"127.0.0.1 loop back to myself".
https://james.apache.org/server/james_and_sendmail.html mentions some
this way and how sendmail once had to been told "yea, don't worry, I
know what I do" - is there some setting in postfix to tell it: "hey
dude, I know I set relay looks like to yourself - but trust me, I'm sure
I know what I do - just relay to smtp://127.0.0.1:25"?
About mini_sendmail - no look so far yet as it seems there's no "easy
way" to get it run on opensuse ... still on it.

Well, I'll give mini-smtp a try now - let's see if this fits my purposes

About the brain-dead system: isn't it supposed that the config-tool,
wich, correct me if I'm wrong, belongs to postfix itself is run at its
start-up? Also, if config.postfix generates master.cf from sysconfig -
shouldn't there be an option in sysconfig the tell config.postfix the
not enable smtpd? Looks like error on postfix's side to me, not
distribution fault.
About relayhost: if setting relayhost to [127.0.0.1]:25 should do the
trick, but doesn't, wich other configs could prevent processing
mail-queue, connect to smtp-server and drop it there? Couldn't find any
and I'm not good enough with anything other than Java to dig through the
source my self to find the issue.
All comes back down to: couldn't find any config options provide desired
options or could be reason for what's happening. So, my guess, postfix
just doesn't fit my needs.
The problem you're having with sysconfig isn't part of the upstream postfix
distribution (and thus can't be supported here). You need to consult your
distro support resources to resolve issues with it.
You demonstrated that, as shipped, postfix solves your use case just fine.
It's the distro 'improvements' that are the problem. You shouldn't expect an
upstream list to know how to solve those problems. I'm the Debian postfix
maintainer and part of why I'm on this list is to help with our distro
specific issues.
