One more thing, I did a quick search and it appears that they are now supporting 6.x code...have you given that a try yet...I already have a centos 6.2 vmware template that would make it quick and easy to spool up...
I'm still running on CentOS 5, but I'm on the mailing list and I'm pretty sure that CentOS 6 works now. One thing that I do recommend is that if your not real familiar with postfix and your going to do your own tweaking, keep a test VM around. I also install updates first on my test system before updating my production server.

Vpostmaster is very easy to setup, provided you start with a clean linux install (CentOS is good choice). Don't install it on a system where you've already installed postfix, dovecot etc. For a small site it runs very well in a VM. A VM is certainly adequate for testing.
I have done some customization to my config, but I don't really think that's necessary for most small sites. It's certainly better then piecing together all the components yourself. The install package will provide you with a working postfix, dovecot, greylisting, clamav, spamassassin, spf etc and you can always add any additional postfix compatibile addons. The commercial version is still open source and gets a few extra features over the free version. I currently run the free version, but I like the author and plan to spring for the commercial version.

There are a 2 or 3 alternatives that provide an integrated mail system based on postfix. I looked at them a while back and all were less attractive to me. I'd have to dig up their names, but one is a package in the fedora repositories. I think it's written in java. Sounded like a nightmare to me.
