Namely the documentation found at www.postfix.org.  It is rather good.  CF files are explained as 
well as various other tables that are used in configuring Postfix.

Also,  by default on Redhat based distributions main.cf is set as to only permit smtp connections to 
127.0.0.1.  Perhaps Suse does the same.
