I'll second that...

While QMail is very nicely written, it doesn't play well with the rest of
the system, I think.  Dan Bernstein make some great code, he has this
knack for doing things in a very neat way that works like absolutely
nothing else, and therefore you spend a lot of time relearning things.
If you don't mind that, qmail is a great system, but it just drives me
nuts...

QMail/Postfix is kind of like vi/emacs, I'm probably starting a holy war
right here...  ;)
