Re: [CentOS] Advise on RPM vs. Compiling source

Hi,

Need some advice on installing postfix in CentOS4. Which is better, installing by yum or rpm -i or by compiling from source code? What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of each. Thanks.

with yum you will have the security updates for the current postfix version

if you compile from source you'll need to keep up with the security releases and patch or recompile the new versions
