IMO Postfix is better than sendmail in several areas - security comes to
mind immediately. Ease of configuration is another point (no sendmail.cf!).
Whether Postfix is better than qmail depends on your point of view. If you
know sendmail, I think it's easier to get used to Postfix than qmail.

Postfix can't do 'sendmail -qRsite' yet, i.e. flush the queue for one
specific site. Probably several other things also, but that's the one I
have noticed. Flushing the whole queue works just fine, though.
