heres a bunch of reasons to avoid qmail:

http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/qmail-bugs.html

I started out with qmail, then went to postfix after getting bit by 
qmail too many times. I shouldnt have to assemble 40 patches from 40 
people to make qmail work properly.

I like postfix alot. it works out of the box, has options for everything 
and the author updates his code and knows he isnt infallible.

theres more interesting facts about DJBs software on the maradns 
homepage if anyone is interested.

you really cant go wrong with postfix.
