I'm trying to install postfix-2.0.16-14.RHEL on a newly installed CentOS 3.3 boxen and I get the following error:

I recompiled the .src.rpm for 2.0.20-1 and installed it and things have been screwy since. I cannot rpm -e ANY postfix package, yum remove doesn't work either. Any ideas how to get around this error?

What url did you grab that src.rpm at? Maybe it was for a different distro?

Yes check that because it worked for me, except i had to complete the following steps after installation :

rm /etc/alternatives/mta ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix /etc/alternatives/mta chkconfig --add postfix

And warning, be sure that the default postfix configuration file doesn't relay from anywhere ( mynetworks = ... ).
