I refuse to believe that Qmail toaster is any simpler learning curve to
postfix but I will never experience that for myself since I refuse to
use Qmail anything because of DJB and licensing.

Postfix is simple and very effective.

Sendmail is very effective but not as simple.

Why even bother with Qmail is something I will never understand.

It's simple enough to integrate greylisting, MailScanner, clamav,
phishing and LDAP into Postfix.

For imap, I heavily recommend cyrus-imapd...many many
reasons...auto-create folders, auto-subscribe, public folders, built-in
quota management, auto sieve scripts, auto expire of e-mails (I
automatically delete e-mails directed automatically to user's SPAMBOX
after 7 days), auto-index (each users entire set of mail folders for
fast indexed searches), etc.
