Not by any reputable repo, no.  Use dovecot which is supplied by CentOS.

People _really_ must stop following garbage like howtoforge.  This site
inevitably advises to disable selinux and more often than not to do the
same with your firewall.  Both actions are foolhardy, at best, and
downright reckless otherwise.

Sigh, I just made the mistake of browsing through that article and I
fear I have given myself brain cancer as a result.  Using Fedora's F14
postfix which is no longer supported in any way by Fedora; patching it
making it even more difficult to maintain on your own; the inevitable
"You should make sure that the firewall is off (at least for now) and
that SELinux is disabled (this is important!)." recommendation, etc.

Bleah.

Really, just forget that site exists.
