Nothing pesonal, but qmail can be used ONLY on some not important hosts,
or for simple tasks.
Indeed, it's mailing list features are better, but it lacks spam control.
(For example)
As I stated before, VMAiler is better than both, sorry , WILL be better,
as soon is it's out.For simple relaying you can use something
simpler than qmail or sendmail.
About the performance - the sendmail can be efficient also, just remove
the rulesets ;)
