Interesting reading...the most memorable paragraph was this one:

"Note that qmail, an alternative mail transport program, generates
post-reception bounce messages in circumstances where other mail transports
would have refused the reception. This means every qmail site is basically
an open spam relay. For this reason alone, qmail should never be used by
anyone."
