NO, that is not accurate. "security" where it means anti-spam, DJB did not bother because as far as he is concerned, the way things are, things are just broken. Too bad his idea of how email should work never took off. So any anti-spam features are provided by THIRD-PARTIES. It is not 'patch-maked'. There is zero anti-spam.
As for postfix, 'by-design-maked' just means Wietse put in the time to develop postfix unlike DJB who stopped in 1998.
for example, smtp auth, SASL, TLS and soon. Also postfix is more modular. You can use it with someSQL LDAP and all thats cute things.
There is a qmail fork that does both sql and ldap too. postfix is only better because its developer continued to work on the code and keep up with the times and he built a good reputation while at it.
No qmail fork has ever managed that because of DJB's stand on licensing but now that qmail is public domain, maybe in the future one of these forks might.
