You might also try Webmin, whic exposes a lot more options, including 
alaiasing (which updates /etc/aliases), than YaST manages. Webmin is 
becoming a favourite config tool on my main box, as there is no attempt to 
over-simplify the configs, jut to present them in an accessible graphical 
interface.
