Compile Postfix 2.7.0 from simon j. mudd git repository

First, we need to clone Simon J. Mudd postfix repository at github

$ git clone git://github.com/sjmudd/postfix-rpm.git

Switch to (also create local) POSTFIX_2_7 branch

$ cd postfix-rpm
$ git checkout --track -b POSTFIX_2_7 origin/POSTFIX_2_7

Copy postfix-rpm, which contain POSTFIX_2_7 branch

$ cd ..
$ cp -rp postfix-rpm postfix-2.7

Create .rpmmacros on your homedir if you don’t have one

$ make setup

Fetch source files

$ make fetch

Setup the required build options. ie :

export POSTFIX_SMTPD_MULTILINE_GREETING=1
export POSTFIX_LDAP=1
export POSTFIX_MYSQL_REDHAT=1
export POSTFIX_PCRE=1
export POSTFIX_PGSQL=1
export POSTFIX_RBL_MAPS=1
export POSTFIX_SASL=2
export POSTFIX_TLS=1
export POSTFIX_VDA=1
export POSTFIX_DB=4

Now it’s time to compile

$ make rpm

When done. install with this command

$ sudo rpm -Uvh ~/RPM/PKG/postfix-2.7.0-1.pcre.pgsql.mysql.sasl2.vda.fc12.x86_64.rpm
