I've supported qmail in a high volume config.  I'd rather shoot myself than do
it again.  I prefer postfix, as its stable, easy to manage, and above all FAST
(faster than qmail, as it writes one file to the spool instead of 3 like
qmail).

For spam prevention I'm having excellent luck with DSPAM (99.8% accuracy).
THe probelm is that dspam runs every time a message comes through.  I haven't
seen a daemonized version yet, which would be really nice.
