Yup.  To get around this, you should modify /etc/rhn/sysconfig/up2date
and add postfix to pkgSkipList. 

I've run into this with mailman on 7.0.  I installed from the 7.3 source
rpm which puts files into different directories than the 7.0 package.
When a mailman patch came out, it showed up as a newer version and
up2date upgraded it.  Ouch that hurt...

If you've got a package excluded, up2date will still tell you when a new
version is out there.  Then you would manually grab the source rpm, edit
it accordingly, build and install.
