No, they're two seperate things. In addition to being incredibly easy to
install and configure, Postfix can be made fairly secure and it has a better
(=more 'open') license of some kind.

I was led to believe Postfix is what Qmail evolved into?

Me too. I've never had a problem with Postfix. It just dropped in in Sendmail's

On a side note, qmail has a wrapper that pretends to be sendmail. You can
overwrite the /bin/mail with it and it will behave and accept mail just like
sendmail, but send it through qmail-smtp.
