For changelog one could do 'rpm -q --changelog postfix' and see it
without downloaded and installing the source rpm.
With yum-changelog installed one could do a 'yum changelog postfix'
to see the changelog without even installing or downloading postfix.
Some apps will display the build options used under the version
information, maybe postfix has something like that too, if not to
find out for sure you will need to look at the .spec file.
