Postfix administrators should avoid installing binary blobs from friends
and neighbours. Exceptions can be made from Simon J. Mudd, and other
established "upstream maintainers", but in other cases it is probably
more helpful to post an "SRPM" tool into which one can slot a Postfix
source tarball of one's choice, and provide instructions on building
an RPM from the SRPM.

Those not adventurous enough to build RPMs from SRPMS, should probably
wait for the right package to appear in one of the usual "repositories".
