  For me the problem is the license of qmail.  I prefer to work with
  Open Source software. And by that I don't mean just that I can see
  the software, but that I'm free ( as a commercial entity or 
  otherwise ) to basically do whatever I want with it. 
 
  Also, the days when Sendmail was a big security risk are pretty much
  gone.  Yes I will admit it has had a checkered past, but honestly
  how many Sendmail specific security holes have there been in the
  last year?
