Eric,
RedHat apparently dropped metamail as of RH 8.0, but included it in the
default install before then. We just used the rpm from Red Hat 7.3, plucked
from an old RH73 CD, but it's also at RPMFind:
ftp://216.254.0.38/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/metamail-2.7-28.i386.rpm
I was concerned about problems installing a 7.3 rpm onto a 9.0 system, but
my log shows we didn't get into any other dependency issues when installing
that file.
I found a lot of discussion on the HylaFax discussion list about this around
the end of last year, but didn't find any messages from anyone having
problems from installing metamail. Again, YMMV. ;-)

I think there's a link in there somewhere from someone who had built a
RH9-specific metamail RPM file, but we ended up not needing it.
