I have decided to give SME a go. It provides Qmail on Centos 4.7, with 
Centos 5.2 in beta.

I chose SME because I also have to replace an NT server here as well, so 
it makes a good fit.

I have a test system working and building the mailserver replacement 
system now. Then I will build the NT server replacement.
