It might be good to note that almost nobody needs to be running qmail 
or sendmail. Open relays created by bad installations of either are 
what make a lot of spammers happy.

Qmail is the second most common mail transport agent, behind sendmail, 
on the Internet. Mac OS X comes with sendmail, but it's turned off by 
default. What both programs do is allow your machine to become an SMTP 
server rather than just a client. Neither one is needed to read or send 
your e-mail.
