The mx package is required by the new python client code.  It will indeed 
build without mx, but it will not RUN without it.  See rpmfind.net for 
sources -- the name 'mx' is a RedHatism, and the same package goes by another 
name, which I don't remember right off.

Oh, BTW: /var/spool/ftp on ftp.postgresql.org is correct.
