Thank you! Postfix v3 is in the ghettoforge repository and has been for some time. pkgs.org would have shown these packages available. http://ghettoforge.org for more information. PS.

That's fine. I wasn't trying to pick a fight, or even be contrary. My question was sincere as I'm always interested in learning. If there are valid reasons why one should completely avoid building Postfix from source on RHEL and/or any other platform (aside from voiding RedHat service contracts, which I don't care about), I'd love to carefully consider those reasons. Perhaps it would change my mind. If the reasons are Postfix-specific, then it's possible this list is the right place to discuss it. But if they're not, and this is John's opinion about compiling ANY source code vs. rolling your own, this list is NOT the right place to discuss it, and I'll be grateful if John contacted me off-list with his thoughts.

There are genuine reasons, but if you want to discuss them then join #centos on irc.freenode.org and someone will be happy to explain it to you. The packages in ghettoforge are mine, I highly recommend them as a much better alternative to compiling your own. Peter
