i just installed qmail under FreeBSD and SuSE Linux and i must say i
prefer it to sendmail. the installation process is very simple and well
documented, and the post-install configuration is much more straight
forward. i can't really vouch for it's ability to handle heavy loads
having only been using it a few days, but from the looks of things... it's
starting to look like a wise choice.
peace,
brian
