Gordon answered exactly that question very recently - where have you

No, Postfix was never rejected. Postfix was not available when e-smith
was designed. qmail has served us very well. If you would like to
contribute a Postfix port, we'd be very interested - we've had a few
"Why not Postfix?" questions, but nobody has ever done the serious work
involved to convert.
We are certainly interested in Postfix, but there would be significant
conversion required, and I believe there are still some things (such
as /var/qmail/users/assign) which are easier to do in qmail than
postfix. However, I haven't looked in detail at Postfix for a while.
