I have been running it for a couple of months here.

It seems much better then sendmail, both in terms of speed and security
but then again we're rather mdeium on mail traffic.
Note though that by default Qmail saves mail to a users $HOME and not
/var/spool/mail. This is safer but also means you have to get program
that support that - but I found this to be rather easy.

Qmail is an SMTP server, like Sendmail (MTA I believe they are called -
am i right?) It doesn't have (almost) anything to do with POP3 (or IMAP)
etc. which is a different program.
Try Qpopper for a good POP3 server.
