DAG repository revisited: problems with versions?

All,

I updated my /etc/yum.conf file to include the DAG repository, as I wanted
to install amavis via yum instead of from source.  I've included the
yum.conf below.  The problem is that now when I do a yum update, yum wants
to replace several of my rpms with what look like older versions.  I've
included the yum output below, along with rpm -q's of a few of the currently
installed rpms.

Shouldn't DAG's rpm repository know that it has older rpms than are already
installed?  Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Ben
