Just to wrap up this thread, there was a bug in qtp-newmodel which is
now fixed. Upgrade your qmailtoaster-plus package, and things should
work fine. You do not necessarily need to have the yum priorities
plugin, since qtp-newmodel installs the rpmforge repo in a disabled
state, and only uses it for perl dependencies.

I am in the same boat... what did you change using yum priorities? Where
and how did you apply the patch? Thanks.
