installing non-RPM packages can obviously cause clashes when installing

Urm... add Postfix to your yum excludes file and the problem goes away.
Postfix provides an MTA which is a quite important part of a *nix system. To
remove the MTA package from system breaks a lot of dependencies. To avoid that
you install your own package.
Yes, I'm aware of that. If you reread the parent's use case, they're
building a custom spin of Postfix from source. Therefore, you want to
ensure that postfix itself is excluded from updates so your install
doesn't get overwritten by an earlier version; it doesn't usually, but I
don't like to count on that.
