Had he asked about a switch to the next major version of postfix 3.X,
I would not have bothered asking on this list.  However I thought
an update of 2.6->2.8 might not be considered a "major version" change.

For the record, Enterprise Linux distributions do not normally switch
major server versions during the lifetime of the distribution.  This is
ACTUALLY the whole reason ENTERPRISE distros exist.

Backporting of security and bug fixes is done to make the released
version more stable and more secure over the lifetime of the distro so
that custom software that you pay to be written does not become obsolete
with an API/ABI change of a component.

See this link about backporting by Red Hat:

https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting

So, for almost any server related services (IPA, LDAP, EMail, httpd,
samba, etc., etc., ... ), there will likely not be an upgrade of the
service within the main distribution.

CentOS-6 will most likely always have httpd version 2.2.15-XX (where XX
will change, but not 2.2.15).  CentOS-7  will have version 2.4.6-XX of
httpd.

If you want server services always moving to the latest and greatest,
CentOS is the distribution you are looking for.  That is Fedora (if you
want a Red Hat family equivalent).

Thanks,

Hi Jon,

as Ned has already explained the version of Postfix on CentOS 6 will 
most certainly stay what it is. If you want to use a more current 
release then consider switching to Potfix 3.1 provided by the 
ghettoforge repository. Peter who is maintaining that package is very 
active to follow new upstream releases.


clamav 0.99.2 is available by EPEL. It just hasn't hit the regular 
repository while staying in the testing repo. I am using it from testing 
since roughly 1 month. Maybe it needs more karma to get pushed into 
stable. You have to bark at the EPEL tree, not CentOS.


Regards

Alexander

It is very unlikely Postfix will ever be updated from the current 
version in CentOS 6. Maybe CentOS 7 has the version you require?

ClamAV is not a part of CentOS so you will need to ask on the mailing 
list for whichever repository you got the package from.
