The only issue with RH9 and qmail is the "errno" problem. qmail,
ucspi-tcp, and daemontools require a trivial patch in order to compile
under RH9. I don't know for a fact that binaries compiled under 7.3
won't run under 9.0, but you should be prepared to recompile. The
patches are available from:

http://www.qmail.org/moni.csi.hu/pub/glibc-2.3.1/

Or you can replace all occurrences of:

extern int errno;

with:

#include <errno.h>
