version numbers donÿÿt really tell you much I was trying to find an
errata on postfix or anything to let me know the real version of it.
For the most part if it's a feature it's not added, and if it's a
bug/security issue it is.


How does one deal with this scenario? Is there a source of info to
determine this info?
The way that I'd do it is download the srpm, and read the spec file's
changelog.  Also, looking at the upstream's errata for postfix may tell
you.

Instead of downloading the srpm why not just run rpm -q --changelog postfix | less
and read that?

If the rpm is not installed, do rpm -qp --changelog /path/to/postfix-blah.rpm  | less
