Much like watching Gentoo compiler output does make you a programmer,
just looking at postfix or qmail code doesn't make you a security expert ;-)

I don't think either postfix OR qmail is better, more secure or easier
to use than the other 1) I just know that it is FAR easier to set up
postfix on an Ubuntu box and keep it up to date with security fixes.

So if there's no reason from a security/useability point of view, why
not go with the option that's easiest for the admin?

- P.

1) I'm basing this on the number of qmail related questions we get on
the #debian and #ubuntu irc channels. There's rather a lot more of them
than postfix ones.
