QMail is prolly fine for BIG servers...when I tried it on my home 
setup, I had a big problem..like if I sent a mail to multiple(n) 
addresses, it polled  from the smtp server to my machine n times. 
Guess I had got some setting wrong, anyway removed it fast. Came back 
to postfix. 

Exim's nice and easily configured too...try the exmh MUA...it is just 
marvellous. I was a Gnus follower, but have converted lately.
