Neither repo has amavisd-milter, so that compatibility issue may not show up except to those who actually use amavisd-milter instead of the much less useful amavis-milter.

David,
I understand that you are one of the RPMforge/repoforge packagers, and I thank you for your efforts.
The amavisd-new-milter package does exist for CentOS 5.8; I cannot, however, find an amavisd-new-milter package for CentOS 6 in either rpmforge or rpmforge-extras.
Which is just as well, since this amavisd-new-milter is different from amavisd-milter, which is currently at version 1.5.0, the version that is compatible with amavisd-new 2.7.0 and up. It's somewhat unfortunate to have two very different things packaged with very similar names; the amavis-milter that comes with amavisd-new is much less useful than the separate amavisd-milter ( http://amavisd-milter.sourceforge.net/ ; the one packaged with amavisd-new is the one with a README at http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.milter.txt that points to the Petr Rehor rewrite at amavisd-milter.sourceforge.net).
To my knowledge no repos have the amavisd-milter package available; I've built my own for six years or so. I've used both, and the amavisd-new-milter (/usr/sbin/amavis-milter) is not nearly as useful as this amavisd-milter. In fact, for at least the last three years I've not been able to get the amavis-milter that comes with amavisd-new to work at all, whereas amavisd-milter (the Petr Rehor version at sourceforge) works very well at version 1.5.0.
