Depends. I have had no problems (my first qmail installation was 
up and running in 10 minutes), but the amount of questions in this 
conference (and replies "Go read Life with qmail") suggests 
otherwise.

But some important parts are really missing. What's the licence for 
daemontools? For rblsmtpd? For qmail-analog? Am I allowed to 
start my syslogd or rc5des client under supervise if I haven't 
installed qmail?

BTW, how's that really with the licence to Postfix? Are you allowed 
to distribute your patches? Patched postfix? In binary form?

... for something better. BTW, if you couldn't configure sendmail 
properly, odds are that you will have problems with 
qmail/postfix/whatever too.
