Hi folks,
according to several findings on the web I tried to find postfix-2.6.5 in centosplus adding this to my /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo: [base] exclude=postfix [centosplus] includepkgs=postfix
in the right places.
But when I "yum remove" and "yum install" postfix then, it's "only" 2.3.3-2.1 with added mysql/pqsql support.
Is there anything I am doing wrong? Or is there just no postfix 2.6.5 in centosplus?

yes.

Yes to the last one quoted. There is no newer package on centos-plus. You know you can browse the repositories on the web in case you mistrust your yum?

Thanks for clarifying.
Since several people on the web referred to postfix 2.6.5 in centosplus: Is that nonsense or has it been withdrawn (and if yes, for what reason?).
By the way, you are right, I did not know the repositories can be browsed on the web. How can I do that?

it's absolute nonsense. There is at least one source for a very new postfix. http://www.w3bservice.de/index.php? option=com_remository&Itemid=13&func=select&id=1 (haven't used any package from it, just found it yesterday)
I don't know if rpmforge, EPEL or Atrpms have newer postfix. What functionality are you looking for. I found that I can dow ith the current postfix in CentOS quite well.

You can do a simple "yum list postfix*" for a listing in yum. If you want to surf the repos, they are all at http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/
If you haven't read these yet, read them now: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

Thanks, just gave it a try, but their download functions seems to misbehave - just an empty html page coming back.

Normally it is sufficient, but for a certain project I need the multi instance manager.

Just tried, same for me. Sorry. Try this search: http://www.google.de/search?as_q=CentOS+5+rpm&hl=de&num=30&as_ep...
I see there are some src.rpms. But be careful with files you don't know ;-)

according to several findings on the web I tried to find postfix-2.6.5
If you actually need a feature in 2.6.5, Simon Mudd has been releasing them officially for postfix for ages...
http://www.postfix.org/packages.html Which leads to ->

Afaik they are 64bit packages, and besides that he adds mysql support and patches I do not know (and hopefully not need).
I tried using the spec file from the regular CentOS postfix src.rpm to rpmbuild 2.6.5 with it (I just changed version numbering in the spec). That did not work, applying some patches failed. Has anybody tried that successfully before?
I do not want to end up compiling manually on a production machine, but I am not deep enough into rpmbuilding to tweak my own spec file.

try to download this: http://ftp.wl0.org/official/2.6/SRPMS/postfix-2.6.5-1.src.rpm
and then just rpmbuild it:
rpmbuild --rebuild postfix-2.6.5-1.src.rpm
Maybe it works, currently I don't have 32bit centos available for testing..

Greetings,
there is a good team in Russia (http://centos.alt.ru) which is engaged in building a lots of rpm's (such like as postfix, httpd, nginx and other..).
You can surf the link below and will find a working repo which you can add to your yum configuration.

Cheers.
