As you have seen there are differences between the packages. This makes the CentOS documentation worthless to you as you are not using the same versions used in the documentation.
I had hopes that the 'official' packaging would work well, particularly now that both are on the same release. I really wanted to do this all 'official' packages. I know there is nothing wrong with rpmforge, I use it for a number of things, just this time around for mail, I was shooting for 'fully supported cruft'. Shows how good that approach takes!
I'm not sure what made you think so, but epel is no more "official" than rpmforge. It's just another third party repo. The only "official" repos are base and updates. Perhaps CR could qualify as semi-official... and that's it, I'ld say.
glad Ned could help you solve your problem.
