Qmail is not, nor has it been, actively supported for years. Personally, I use Postfix. Is is far easier IMHO to configure that Sendmail and it is actively supported. The developer regularly answers questions on the Postfix forum. Amavisd-new works fine with Postfix. You might want to stay away from MailScanner though. The Postfix author discourages its use and Postfix does not support it. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com Every cloud has a silver lining; you should have sold it, and bought titanium.
