I've never used qmail; but I understand that exim and qmail are
fairly similar in many respects.  At the time that I chose exim,
I looked at the docs for both, and chose exim because it appeared
to have better virtual domain support.

The exim-vs-qmail topic comes up occasionally on the exim mailing
lists.  You can find out more about exim, including pointers to
the mailing lists and list archives, at http://www.exim.org/
