I would really suggest that you think long and hard before venturing into
something like this - while keeping in mind that 2 very strong programmers,
who also happen to be security experts have already done this. You know
about qmail, but there is also Postfix by Wieste Venema. Also, why are #3
and #4 problems for you?
Postfix : http://www.postfix.org
What is Postfix? It is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an
alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program.
Qmail : http://www.qmail.org
qmail is a modern SMTP server which makes sendmail obsolete, written by Dan
Bernstein, who also has a web page for qmail. qmail is a secure package.
Just my opinion,
- Oliver
