 =============

I started using qmail but eventually switched to Postfix.  I found that
qmail required several [conflicting] patches to get the feature level I
wanted.  I also did not like the need to move my box towards what djb
thought a *nix box should be set up.  Postfix seems to want to just
drop in to a standard environment.   But the items that really made the
choice easy for me are that the Postfix mailing list is excellent, and
that Postfix development is still alive.

I host multiple virtual domains with Postfix (and Courier-IMAP for the
pop3 amd imap support).
