I think it is quite a big surprise :) When 80% of the world uses Sendmail...
It's safe to assume that Internic used to use sendmail because they've been
around since before qmails exsistence, and sendmail was really it when they
were new. I'd be shocked if there were too many more sites that had that
much traffic, considering the sheer volume they send out. When MAPS was
talking about RBL'ng them they claimed somewhere up near 10 million emails
per day. Plus that doesn't count the 35 million customers that they send
mass mailings to (minus those who checked no). The volume isn't nearly as
impressive as the dependability though. They have to really trust it.. the
mail can't afford to be late, because of the nature of what they do. I think
it may be good to put up a list of sites such as this that use qmail.
Hotmail and InterNIC both are very large volume sites and it's a good answer
to "Who uses qmail anyway?" which was asked of us quite often while we began
to migrate to it.

yes, the Internic uses qmail. No, this is not a surprise. No, it is
not a particular "achievement". There are sites which send much more
mail per day (I'm guessing).
