The above probably should work, just that it wasn't written specifically 
for 6 and hasn't been tested on 6, but the changes in Postfix between 5 
and 6 shouldn't prevent it from working given it describes the bare 
minimum required to get Postfix up on your system. The warning was added 
as a matter of course, as users started reporting inconsistencies 
between guides written for CentOS 5 when CentOS 6 was released. For 
example, I would expect more issues with dovecot configs between 5 and 6 
than I would with Postfix.

Anyway, for Postfix it really doesn't get any simpler than the above. If 
you find inconsistencies please feel free to feed back changes to the 
centos-docs list and the page can be updated for CentOS 6.

Thanks.
