OK ... since we needed both a postfix that works with the
mysql,pgsql,ldap,etc in the plus repo and one that works with those
packages in the base repo, I did build 2 sets of packages for CentOS-4.

base (built against CentOS-4.5 base repo):
postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.base.i386.rpm
postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.base.x86_64.rpm
postfix-pflogsumm-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.base.i386.rpm
postfix-pflogsumm-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.base.x86_64.rpm

plus (built against the packages in C4.5 CentOSPlus):
postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.plus.i386.rpm
postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.plus.x86_64.rpm
postfix-pflogsumm-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.plus.i386.rpm
postfix-pflogsumm-2.2.10-1.1.el4.centos.mysql_pgsql.plus.x86_64.rpm

Both of these groups of packages are in the centosplus repo.

If you do nothing except enable the centosplus repo, you will get the
postfix-<version>.plus rpms as .plus is greater than .base for yum
dependency resolution.

If you would rather use a postfix with DB support against the BASE mysql
(4) or pgsql (7) then you would need to add this to your [centosplus]
section of your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file:

exclude=postfix-*.plus.*

That exclude line will have yum install and upgrade only the
postfix-*.base.* files (which were built against the base repo).

These files are currently syncing to the mirrors.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
