That looks strange. The errors indicate that the system is trying to install
rpm, not qmail. What does the following produce:
rpm -qip qmail-blah-blah.rpm
Was the RPM built specifically for RedHat 9 or are you using a package from
another distribution? If the latter, try rebuilding the RPM;
rpmbuild --rebuild qmail-blah-blah.src.rpm
