Might want to add? I have apache, mysql and php all installed from rpm, 
and there's nothing you need to do to enable SSL or qmail support. I 
use both (though qmail not by choice, I prefer postfix, but that's 
another story). Red Hat usually includes support most of the good 
stuff, so its just a matter of editing config files.

For security reasons, or something else? You can always just build your 
own, which isn't a huge amount more difficult for many packages, since 
you can often already find an rpm spec file to tweak to your liking.
