I agree with lars in all ways.
I droped qmail just for the same reasons that him.
The idea of activating SMTP AUTH with a patch plus recompile the system has
no meanning.
Postfix has everything an administrator always dreamed about, and is beeing
developed like lars sayd and qmail... almost its development stoped.
My opinion and certein, (i'm a software developer for windows too, don't
kill me guys :P ) a software than doesn't have active development (new
things+bug fixes), in a few time will be dead.

Thank you. I am actually looking for some comparising data about speed.
As far as 'easy', yes postfix is easy, but after using sendmail anything
looks easy.
I don't mind compiling and recompiling if the program will work faster.
I read somewhere on qmail site that they were able to send 45 million
emails in one day from one machine vs about 9 million with postfix. I
wonder if this is true?
I don't know it. From my point of view, qmail is a dead end.
But if you want to send that much emails, it maybe be more important how
the system behaves under big load. The mailqueue must be very big. And it
will grow through many bounces and delays.
It was a qmail user too, but i got very tired of searching for the right
patches over and over again. And i'm very happy with postfix now.
