Then take the version of Postfix that's required, the Postfix SRPM from 
CentOS, and adapt the SRPM to use the later Postfix tarball. You might 
check Fedora, as it may have this already done. (An SRPM is a source 
package, so you'd be "building from source" while still using the distro 
package manager.)
