First item, ignore the qmail haters. We run qmail quite successfully and 
find it very powerful, very secure, and well designed. I will not go 
into a point by point debate.

Second item, plesk is a very bad way to run qmail. You will get *no* 
help on the qmail list if you use the install on plesk. It is a modified 
version of qmail and the modifications are closed door, at least that is 
my understanding. So if you do not have an excellent understanding of 
Unix, and above average understanding of email, and good troubleshooting 
skills, you are in for a very rocky ride.

By your description of the problem an experienced Unix administrator 
would have no problem doing what you ask. Consider staying with Postfix 
as you already know the software. If you insist on switching, ask the 
Plesk developers for help. It is their software, their install, they 
should be able to help you.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
