[chef] managing /etc/aliases || a postfix question

[Haselwanter Edmund < >]

Hi,

I'm using the postfix recipe to set sentmail going through a relaying host. 
which works fine for mails
where the sendmail client sets a valid "from" e-mail address.

So I did some research and came up with a proposed solution to set an alias 
for e.g. root in

/etc/aliases

Question is: Is this the right way to do it? 

The other more chef specific question: 

Ho to manage this file? I don't think its a good solution
to manage the whole file as a template, as os packages (centos) tend to 
change this file and I don't 
want to interfere with that.

any thoughts on that?
