Hi Eero,
These are considered fine:
http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/, yet they diverge from
standard (include VDA patch and possibly more non-standard options). But
you can download the src.rpm and build RPMs yourself disabling any
undesired options (see directions:
http://postfix.wl0.org/en/building-rpms/).
Other SRPMs I know:
http://www.kutukupret.com/downloads-page/
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/postfix/RPMS/ils-5/SRPMS/
Until now, I have not been able to find ready-made CentOS Postfix RPMs
with standard-only options.
You could also compile from source as described here:
http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2011/01/building-postfix-2-8-on-rhel5-centos-5-from-source/
I currently use the latter methodology since a year or so on a number of
systems and it works fine.
However, if someone can point to ready-made RPMs with standard-only
options, I would be interested as well, as building from source does not
scale well.
Note that this has been discussed again in this list. See for example:
