No, it's "qmail" because that's how Dan wants it. E.g.:

de5@sws5$ cd /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03/
de5@sws5$ grep Qmail *
de5@sws5$ grep qmail *|wc
          3223         15870        176030
de5@sws5$ man qmail|head -15



qmail(7)                                                 qmail(7)

  What is it?
  
  qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer
  agent. It is meant as a replacement for the entire sendmail-binmail
  system on typical Internet-connected UNIX hosts.

Even when it's the first word of a sentence, Dan uses "qmail", not
"Qmail".

I'm not anal-retentive, I'm just trying to set the record straight. If
you can find a single instance where DJB wrote "Qmail", I'll shut up
about it.

qmail is the e.e.cummings of MTA's.
