I guess my first question is why do you want to stop using qmail? It's highly secure and robust, plus you have already climbed its learning curve. While the various suggestions about how to install it via debian packages are quite valid, I would strongly suggest you just download two things: netqmail-1.05.tar.gz from http://www.qmail.org/netqmail-1.05.tar.gz and the Life with qmail document from http://www.lifewithqmail.org. Following the precise directions in the latter document, you can be compiled and configured in no more than a half hour. Don't throw out an excellent mail server merely because it doesn't come in a compiled debian package. Good luck with your transfer.
