So far the only client that talks qmtp (that I know of) is serialqmtp, which
comes with Dan's serialmail package.
There's been a lot of discussion on the list of ways that mail hosts can
advertise that they know how to talk qmtp. Armed with the knowledge that a mail
host runs a qmtpd daemon, another host with mail to send to it can send the
mail via qmtp rather than smtp. Dan mentioned at some point in the recent past
using some sort of magic string in the MX record (though he proposed something
different in ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/proto/mxps.txt).
But for now, serialqmtp is it.
