Greetings,

I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server.

I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix.

Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By "best" I mean the way which:

• has no known issues, gotchas, extra configuration tricks...
• has as little extra dependencies as possible
• can be maintained/upgraded with yum

If this is a dedicated mailserver, i prefer installing postfix from source.

Better document the build procedure like make command arguments and what not then for your next server or in case the thing goes kaboom.

Packages exist for a reason. :)
