In the pedant department, I feel obligated to point out that qmail isn't
really lying to you; your system ps is. Nearly everything your system is
running is using shared memory since dynamic libraries are shared across
all programs on your system that use them (and nearly everything uses
libc) and if multiple copies of a given program are running, every modern
Unix will share the program code across all copies. It's not a phenomenon
specific to qmail.
