Hello, Does anyone have a repo or have a dovecot 1.2 and dovecot sieve rpm, also a postfix 2.5 or 2.6 rpm? I saw some on a repo called atrpms, but it has dependency issues, and I read that that repo is dangerous. Thanks.

I would love to know where you read that atrpms is 'dangerous'

Both ATrpms and previously RPMForge could *potentially* be dangerous to servers if you are not careful. If you upgrade with third party repo and it overwrites some of the base packages, and then you need to downgrade for what ever reason, you could end up in lot of trouble.
I either have them installed but disabled, or enabled with priority plugin set so I can only pull packages that will not overwrite packages from base,extras,epel, repositories. RPMForge did a change recently to split single repository to repository that changes base packages and to one that is safe. I like that very much. I hope all other third party repositories follow. For now I created my own local repository with carefully selected packages and some that I recompiled my self.
