I HAVE to run Qmail because it's a legacy requirement. If I could find
something with similar virtual domain and Maildir support (and for all
I know Postfix or Exim may provide these) and a nice transition path
I'm stuck with it.
And let me throw in to the ring, there's a nicely RPM packaged Qmail
package conglomerate at http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ And we all know
that packages are the way ahead, right? :)
Complete with CentOS instructions

Personally, I hack around with the SPECs before building to strip out
the MySQL and other features and just use Qmail listening on localhost
only for the very final Maildir delivery after messages have been
dealt with by MailScanner and Sendmail, then Courier and VPOPMail for
POP3 and IMAP.
Personally, I've just hacked around with my own .spec to add/remove features
as I see fit. I cannot for the life of me imagine though why somebody
would run
qmail just for Maildir delivery when it functions quite well as an MTA using
MailScanner and <insert_anti-virus_software_of_choice_here>?
I wouldn't trade my morercpthosts.cdb, or aliases.cdb (using
fastforward), for
anything. And integration of just about anything you want in the
delivery stream
with .qmail-default and /var/qmail/users/assign rocks.
Inter7's vpopmail is also quite a nice virtualdomains package, using the
same facilities.
Sendmail just makes me want to go "ewwww!".
And yes, I'm typing this while happily wearing my Nomex suit sitting in my
nuclear blast bunker.
