On Debian the answer is to set the environment variable TCPLOCALPORT to
2525 in the script which starts qmail. This should work on RedHat too
but I am not sure of the details. Look for /etc/init.d/qmail
You will need to put this at the top of the script:
export TCPLOCALPORT=2525
This is documented in the 'tcp-environ' man-page which comes with qmail
but you also have to know that qmail-smptd is run under tcpserver (and I
had to grope a bit after that).

Perhaps he wants to run qmail on port 2525 because he will be running
qpsmtpd on port 25.

This response strikes me as quite rude if you are not going to answer
his question. I recall mention of port 2525 when I was researching
qpsmtpd.
Let's try goole: running qmail on port 2525
What a surprise, the first four hits are on qpsmtpd articles. In
particular the text quoted by google from Matt Seargeant's article says:
Next, convince your current SMTP server (qmail, postfix, exim,
or whatever you currently use) to run on a port 2525. I'll leave
that up to you to work out, ...
Probably why he's asking eh ?
