CentOS - Jul 2007 - Best way to have Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 on Centos 4.4?

Greetings,

I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL
authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server.

I have already found rpm packages at
http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using
the centosplus repo for postfix.

Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which
way you think is the best way to do this. By "best" I mean the way
which:

* has no known issues, gotchas, extra configuration tricks...
* has as little extra dependencies as possible
* can be maintained/upgraded with yum

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

Marco

Sorry, I forgot one thing:

* which has the smallest impact on other packages

meaning that if the postfix I want is in some extra repo which has lot
of other things I don't need, I (ideally) only want to take postfix
from there when I run "yum update", and keep taking other packages
from the official Centos Repos.

If this is a dedicated mailserver, i prefer installing postfix from source.
