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.

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
