You have sendmail installed. It gets installed by default on Red Hat systems.
You need to remove sendmail before you can install qmail.

# rpm --nodeps sendmail

You need the --nodeps because there are some programs that require an smtp
daemon to be installed. But, since you're about to install qmail this
shouldn't be a problem.
