In this article, we upgraded Postfix to 2.2.5 via RPMs; however, if a later version is needed, and you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 3 (RHEL 3), an RPM needs to be created from source. There is a source RPM for 2.2.6 available here:
http://postfix.wl0.org/ftp/official/2.2/SRPMS/
To use the RPM, install it:
[root@s root]# rpm -i postfix-2.2.6-1.src.rpm
warning: user sjmudd does not exist - using root
.
.
.
warning: group sjmudd does not exist - using root

Make sure you trust the source of your RPM, and verify sigs if possible.
Create a new spec file:
[root@s root]# cd /usr/src
[root@s src]# cd redhat
[root@s redhat]# ls
