Aside from DJB (which is big reason enough for me), the biggest reason why I wouldn't touch qmail with ten-feet pole is vendor lock-in. With reasonably complicated configuration of sendmail/postfix/exim you can switch between each other with reasonable amount of work. With qmail (in either direction) you just have to start from scratch. Binaries in /var/qmail/bin (which is fixed in Debian) are just the tip of the iceberg that DJB wants to do things in other way than the rest of the world. I am affected by qmail on the server my primary domain is hosted (I don't have root password there) and it is really PITA to dance around qmail issues. Just say "No".
