Postfix version 3.1 for RHEL 6/7

Latest response

The current version of Postfix in the Red Hat repository for RHEL 6 is 2.6.6 release 6.el6_7.1 (November 2015). Presumably this is based on Postfix 2.6.6, which was released in March 2010. According to the change log it looks like there have been very few fixes to the Red Hat version since Postfix 2.6.6 was released.
I need a more recent version of Postfix, ideally 3.1. Is there a Red Hat (or third-party) repo where I can find this? (I've checked the RedHat Software Collections Suite but unfortunately that does not seem to include Postfix: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Software_Collections/2/html/2.2_Release_Notes/index.html)

TIA,

You are correct, I was not able to find postfix-3.1x version in redhat site. The only latest postfix package available from red hat site is 'postfix-2.10.1-6.el7.x86_64.rpm' for RHEL7. I happened to find that the latest download code available from this third party community based web site: Postfix Source Code Please look into the 'release notes' and change logs. This might be of some help to you.

Rob,

Are you after a specific feature in the newer postfix? or is your concern security fixes? All security fixes would have been backported to the 2.6.6 release by Red Hat.
