One other point about qmail - its not an open source license. it could go away at anytime or support for it can be shut off by the license owner because of the terms in the license he is distributing qmail under. There is currently no indication that he intends to turn qmail off but his license does give him the right to do so.
Because there is really no reason for him to have his license set up this way, rather than as an open source license some people have suggested that he intends to make qmail a "royalty/fee for use" based license once it has achieved a large enough market share. I have no idea/postion on wether that is actually the case but the danger is there. I would like to second Michael's suggestion that the webmin-sendmail combination is the best way to go.
