As soon as you modify a file in openSUSE that is marked as a  
configuration file in the package (and I can confirm, the  
/etc/clamav-milter.conf file is marked as such) it will not be  
overwritten on updates. In this case, /etc/clamav-milter.conf.rpmnew  
will be created which can then be merged back by using the  
'etc-update' tool. So there is no risk that changes will be overwritten.

Note that in openSUSE, the milter interface is primarily used for  
'sendmail' so the defaults in the /etc/clamav-milter.conf file may be  
more geared towards that than 'postfix'.
