Hi,
    I would agree with the below. I've got a fair amount of experience and i 
tried on a test box to get qmail working, i did, but it was weird, it didn't 
conform to FreeBSD's filesystem layout, files were in unusual places, 
daemons started up nonstandard, and it felt like an email server from the 
twilight zone, it gave me a really weird feeling and i realized that i 
wasn't going to be running it in production period. I would recommend 
postfix.
Hth
Dave.
