Quoted from James T. Perry:

By the way, I'm almost willing to put money on the fact that the
next major version of qmail will no longer have this ``hidden
limit'' on operating systems that support poll(2).
Why? Because newer DJB packages use the iopause interface[1],
which internally uses poll(2). I am rather confident that qmail
will follow.
