It's a pretty major upgrade you're talking about there.  IIRC Red Hat 
can claim to upgrade from 7.0 to another 7.x release (not sure about 
8.0).    8.0 is kind of an orphan out there.  7.3 is a great server 
class OS, which I use on a number of my servers and it's worked out 
well (up2date is another story but we won't go into that).  Make sure 
you have a full backup and can roll back if anything goes wrong.  
Especially make sure you have all of your MTA config files backed up, 
as well as your mail spool (with those two bits in hand you could 
theoretically jump to a totally different OS and get back up & running 
in short order).
