​Yes, every custom change to notifier configuration should be done by
creating a file inside ​

​​/etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/
Also it's a convention that ​automatically generated files have number < 50
and user provided files have number > 50, so I'd personally rename your
file into 99-mailsetup.conf (but it's just a convention :-)

The same practise is also used for engine: you should not change
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/​ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.conf but create
a new file under /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d
