All qmail set are outdated form sometime now (last update 2004-01-18 more than one year ago). In particulary none of them works because of too outdated links to library.
Postfix is outdated too, current version is 2.2.4 and arch version is 2.1.5.

I know it hasn't been announced to loudly but the policicy is quite
clear now; as written down here

qmails usage in Arch is deprecated since it is a mess to mess with the
patches and things in a loosley maintained software. Instead we try to
put more efforts in postfix. The reason it hasn't been updated in a
while is that we like to give it a more modular layout, like having
additionally installable mysql and sasl backends instead of recompiling
for anybody who wants to use these features. But postfix is not my
package, so this is speculative.

Sorry I lost that news
Why don't we remove the qmail package?? They are not working anyway they are only confusing people, or else we can recompile vpopmail to work with postfix.
vpopmail is a nice piece of software anyway.
Having a modular postfix is great but I think that in the meanwhil it should be updated anyway, there were many fix since 2.1
