Nod. I've used it for a few too many years myself. It did an excellent
job doing what it was specified to do, a decade ago (NOT having root
holes like Sendmail, and not being such a resource pig either), but the
world has moved on and qmail hasn't, unless you go puzzling over
third-party patches.

Finding a project that's currently maintained and has a lot of smart
people working on it and that's useful out-of-the-box is a wonderful
thing.
