Read qmail-users; you can either explicitly list the users that should
receive mail or list the exceptions who shouldn't. Note that when running
qmail-pw2u, you'll want to replace < /etc/passwd with ypcat passwd | or
the like.

Probably not. It's generally a good rule of thumb to run one major
service per machine if you can.
