I used to have Simon J. Mudd when building postfix rpm package, but seems he’s not releasing official postfix 2.7.0 yet, here’s a way for impatient one

First make RedHat Linux the standard directory structure in our homedir

$ mkdir rpmbuild
$ mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp}

Create .rpmmacros file

$ vi .rpmmacros

%_topdir                %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_tmppath               %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild/tmp

Create tempoerary working directory for postfix

$ mkdir postfix
$ cd postfix
