I'm looking for the Red Hat equivalent of this Debian statement
"apt-get –y install postfix mailscanner spamassassin bind9 clamav ssh webmin webmin-core logwatch libspf2-0 libmail-spf-query-perl"
"yum search" can't find some of the packages. Is there some sort of online DB or something that I can search through to see which repository I need to enable for some of those programs?

Some packages (in fact - many) have different names between distros. Try using different keyword why searching and combining grep with 'yum search'

you might want to try http://rpm.pbone.net/

Not a really good idea, except if you really know what you are doing. Hunting down repositories is a better idea, especially as there are some trusted ones.
See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories for more information.

There is a good/safe way of using http://rpm.pbone.net/ . Click "Advanced RPM Search" followed by "Uncheck All". Then pick up CentOS and RedHat EL 5 (or 4). This is a fairly easy method to find out what is available. Note that it will not find stuff from kbs-extras, for example. I also check Fedora 6 so I can rebuild from their srpm in case a package is only available from FC6.

You seem to need additional repositories for doing so.
There is no mailscanner rpm for CentOS I'm aware of, as the author seems to be against packaging (I only picked that up during some discussion, so don't ask me for further details).
Spamassassin is in the base repository, newer versions are in the (trusted) rpmforge repository. logwatch is installed by default anyway. bind is in the base repository (and we only ship bind9, so there is no need to distinguish between versions). The two spf packages are in rpmforge again (perl-Mail-SPF and perl-Mail-SPF-Query). sshd is installed by default, postfix is available from base.
webmin is installable from rpmforge, but you don't want that version, as it is too old (no need for webmin on a mail gateway anyway, if you ask me).
Instead of mailscanner you could use amavisd-new, which again is available from rpmforge. clamav is also available from rpmforge (but split across several packages, you probably want clamd).
See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/ for more information about additional repositories.

I'd try getting yum repo definitions for all repos you MIGHT want to use (rpmforge, atrpms, kbs, epel, ...) in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with all but the standard/trusted ones disabled by default. Could then run some variant of:
# yum --enable * install postfix mailscanner spamassassin bind9 \ clamav ssh webmin webmin-core logwatch libspf2-0 libmail-spf-query-perl
Yum will tell you what it wants to install, and what repos it has chosen. Can also use the yum "search" or "list" options to see what is available with all repos enabled as above. Could then try selectively enabling repos to get the combination of packages you want you want.

Seems some packages are out there:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/2/search/mailscanner-4.31.6-1... http://www.alcancelibre.org/al/depositos/el5/repoview/mailscanner-0-4.50.15-...
The second link claims to be compatible with RHEL5 (no OS version was specified by the OP) and possibly other distros - can't vouch for it. I'd be prone to try rebuilding from the 2nd SRPM if I wanted to install mailscanner from a package.
