[Mailman-Users] Mailman and Postfix *2*?

The answer here is really simple... just stick with the redhat releases as 
they come up. The version you are running will be fine, is secure and is 
operationable. When a new release comes out that has significant changes, 
redhat will make a compatible binary and release it.

If you install from sources, there will be problems if you later plan on 
switching back to rpms. The best workaround is to roll your own rpms.
