Should I update Postfix?

2010-03-23 Thread Kaleb Hosie
I am running CentOS 5.4 and the latest version of Postfix it has on the repository is version 2.3.3. After looking at the Postfix site I found out that that version is no longer updated. Is it worth downloading the source code for the latest stable version and manually compile and install it?
