I had already done this but was indeed afarid I was breaking something.
rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force postfix*.rpm

So I installed rawhide and then potfix with,

rpm -i postfix*.rpm

And there are no error messages and postfix works fine!

I don't have to re-install MySQL then Postfix.  Do I ?

Thanks,
