Stay away from qmail.  It has a number of serious problems including
non-compliance with Internet standards, poor scalability and poor
bounce processing model (the latter makes it ideal as a spam relay /
amplifier, especially for email-borne viruses)

Do you really want to trust your email to a piece of software that
hasn't been updated in seven years, and is distributed under a license
that explicitly forbids fixing its many flaws?
