Yes, and qmail is awesome. Pros: blazingly fast (so that it's sometimes hard to believe), *easy* to configure (goodbye sendmail.cf with its "H?F?Resent-From: $?x$x <$g>$|$g$." and such), and it seems to be much more secure than sendmail (I'm no security expert, but we all know about sendmail's holes). Cons: migrating from sendmail is not totally pain-free, especially in userland. The "mailbox" model is different (no /var/mail/user), and hence MUAs need to be either reconfigured or -gasp- recompiled. The documentation tries to help, but it could be more elaborated. Fortunately I didn't have to deal with that, since we use qmail essentially as a proxy/smarthost. It works just great. And the configuration of qmail itself is brain-dead easy, especially virtual hosting. A couple of $ echo domain.com:user >> /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts and you're set. I don't know anything about ezmlm.
