centosplus contains postfix-mysql rpm, so just enable that repo and use yum to install it.

Not provided int CentOS 5:

<snip>

Nothing to do

[root@ares Desktop]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final)

I don't understand why a server-oriented distro like CentOS (RHEL) doesn't provide support to _most_ popular opensource database to the _most_ popular opensource SMTP server. I'm very stunned with it.

Just like the package in 4.5 CentOS, adding mysql is very simple and easy to repackage as an rpm. Just install SRPM then patch the postfix.spec as shown below and build the rpm. Will make the following rpms:

postfix-2.3.3-2.mysql.el5.i386.rpm postfix-pflogsumm-2.3.3-2.mysql.el5.i386.rpm

Might not be named right but will work.
