Built for RH9 ... but what the heck, I'll give it a shot:
[root@genesis root]# rpmbuild --rebuild qmail*.rpm
Installing qmail-4.0.4-7x.i386.rpm
error: source package expected, binary found
error: qmail-4.0.4-7x.i386.rpm cannot be installed
[root@genesis root]# rpmbuild --rebuild qmail*src.rpm
error: cannot open qmail*src.rpm: No such file or directory
