I use qmail for almost two years now.  Yet have to find a reason to
complain.  Setup is simple, once you read and accept the fact that it is
not sendmail.  Some complain that it ``makes too many assumptions'' - I
heard this expression several times.  I have an ISP service deliver over
200,000 messages a day from a 486 DX-50 without complaint.

Virtual domains are trivial to setup.  Mailing lists are easy and self
managed and it is inherently safe.  I like it.
