I recently moved from sendmail to qmail, and so far I'm amazed at A> The
ease of use of "qmail the easy way 1.51" B> The annoyance of Maildir. My
travels across the internet and to various qmails sites tell of vast
security promises and the like, and the changelogs for qmail show there
isn't much security vunerabilites, even relaying isn't a trouble by default.
  ... But has anyone had any problems with it anyway?

P.S. Yes, I've RTFM and used google. Just looking for any lose ends. ;)
