Greg, I just recently had to set my own Mail server up and went through
much of what you are trying to do. Most FAQ/Howtos out there involve
compiling code and a lot of tweaking. What I ended up doing was
following the recommendations here:


http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html
http://jimsun.linxnet.com/misc/postfix-anti-UCE.txt
http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/

And then loading amavisd-new and clamd/clamav-update from Karanbir's
Fedora Extras rebuild yum repository:

http://centos.karan.org

Amavisd-new will manage clam and spamassassin for you nicely.

There was some reading of man pages and configuration of files to get it
to work, but I'm left with all packages being managed by yum and no
compiling or use of CPAN for perl dependencies.

YMMV,
