No, that is incorrect. From the rpmbuild manpage:
-ba Build binary and source packages (after doing the %prep,
%build, and %install stages).
-bb Build a binary package (after doing the %prep, %build,
and %install stages).
-bs Build just the source package.
We use -ba when rolling our RPMs. -bs would be suitable if you *only*
want a Source RPM. If you can build the RPM (it sounds like you were
successful) then the SRPM should be no problem.
I've tried the procedure from the aforementioned link
(http://www.kutukupret.com/2010/02/08/compiling-postfix-2-7-0-as-rpm-package/)
and had no problems building the RPMs. I haven't tested the RPMs yet.
