Will:

	Thanks for the link.  I'll try building metamail from source if
necessary. I'm pretty sure it was included on my earlier versions, and maybe
the older RH 7.0 or 8 CDs will have a metamail rpm on it.

	My guess is that metamail is used by Hylafax to deliver an in-bound
fax to a mail recipient.  I don't need in-bound capability at all, so maybe
the forced install will work.

Mike

--nodeps will force rpm to ignore dependencies, you may need to use --force
as well. Of course, then there's no guarantee that Hylafax will work as
expected. 

Could you build metamail (and perhaps Hylafax) from source?
