I don't know if they've added anything to yum or rpm to do this, but the old
games should still work. If you don't want to use an rpm version of qmail,
you could fake the install with an rpm -i --justdb. Another workaround is to
install a "dummy" rpm that provides MTA, or is simply a package named MTA (a
package's name is automatically a capability provided by the package).
That's assuming MTA is the capability this package is requiring... you could
rpm -qRp whatever rpm you are trying to install to verify what it requireds.
That said, the good and proper thing to do is have your MTA software managed
by RPM. Otherwise you start down a twisty path of goofy hacks like this and
soon RPM is only good for inconvenience rather than package/dependency
management.
