I use /var/qmail, mainly for consistency w/ man pages in case anyone else needs to do maintenance on it. Then again, a symlink would do just as well... It does some spooling in its directory (here /var/qmail/queue), and that certainly can be considered transient traffic, but it would be a PITA to break that directory out of ${PREFIX}/qmail.
